Abstract
UAV's have become more versatile and prevalent in recent years. Due to their relatively low cost, and ability to operate without endangering a human pilot they are becoming more attractive for the civilian market as well as military applications. For this project an autonomous control system will be created for a RC quadcopter. The system will utilize multiple sensors to track the vehicle's movement, and use this information in a control system to enable the vehicle to fly without human intervention. The systems will be simulated, and a working prototype will be constructed to test their effectiveness.
