FIRAT Combat UAV

My first UAV project (Teknofest 2019). I owned the server and inter-unit communication software; we placed 8th in Turkey, 3rd in Marmara and 1st in Bursa.

FIRAT Combat UAV

Overview

Our first UAV project, built for the Teknofest 2019 Combat UAV competition under the motto "We will carve the name of martyr Fırat Yılmaz Çakıroğlu into the skies".

My Role

I worked as a C, C++ and C# developer on the UAV's server communication and inter-unit data flow. By modifying Mission Planner's open-source code, I enabled data sharing with the competition server over HTTP API + JSON and MAVLink, plus the interface integration.

Outputs & Results

In our first-ever competition we placed 8th in Turkey, 3rd in the Marmara region and 1st in Bursa — the start of a UAV-software journey that later reached the national championship (KAPGAN).
