| ALMADA STUDENT CHAPTER CHAPTER - May 25, 2018 |
Chapter Presents Student Research at Meeting |
The chapter participated in the third annual student clubs meeting in May at the Portuguese Naval Academy with representatives from government, industry and academia to share information and opportunities about defense R&D. Participants included Rear Adm. Simoes Marques, commander of the academy, Victor Lobo, professor and faculty adviser, and other professors as well as students. Chapter President Francisco Santos Baptista presented several club activities and R&D projects involving student club members. One project involved the study and design of the instrumentation and telecommunications system for the Vent-Sup project; another involved the development of a prototype application, in LabVIEW, that acquires, senses, analyzes and diagnoses the most common problems in electric induction motors. Another project implements a jamming system onboard an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and another project studies a low-cost system for automatically detecting a person overboard. |
