Educational Programme

Initiating M. Tech. specialization in Aerospace Systems Design & Engineering (9 past & 4 current students).

Integrated Modelling &Simulation Laboratory

Setting up Integrated Modeling & Simulation Laboratory (IMSL), consisting of (a) Software modelling & simulation tools, (b) Hardware-in-Loop Realtime simulators, (c) Educational laboratory setups and (d) A vast collection of sensors, actuators, controllers etc.

 

System LevelStudies

Facility development for MAV Activities & specific Studies (Hardware-in-Loop Simulator, MAV Wind Tunnel, System Integration Studies)  Design and development of an Autonomous MAV (Instrumented Flying Platform, Videography Platform)  Initiating research in the area of Design Methodologies, especially MDO (MDO Framework, WingOPt, 3-D Duct, Surrogate Modelling).

    Awareness Creation

  Conducting Workshops & Short Courses in specialized topics of interest to Design Methodologies (8 Workshops and CEPs in MDO, IMS & MAV). Setting up of a Special Interest Group (SIG) for aerospace designers and offering National and International platforms to meet and exchange of ideas (5 Brainstorming Sessions in SE Education, MDO and IMS).  Promoting design in educational institutions through many measures. (14 Courses on Design, Modelling & Simulation and Design, Build & Fly).

 Publications

7 B. Tech. projects, 20 M. Tech. dissertations, 4 Ph. D. seminars, 10 papers in National conferences & 15 papers in international conferences.

Acknowledgments

–AR&DB for vision & generous financial support–IIT Bombay for believing, support & providing infrastructure –Aero. Deptt. faculty for cooperation–Aero. organizations e.g. ADA, ISRO, VSSC, DRDL, HAL, ADE, G-FAST, NIAS, IAT etc. for hand-holding and participating in various programmes of CASDE–All past and current members of MC, SPC and JPC for their constructive role during various reviews–Its long list of students for taking up challenging problems & delivering more than expected of them

A closure report in the standard AR&DB format has been prepared and circulated. Once it is approved by SPC, it will be submitted to AR&DB to formally close Phase-I of CASDE.

Vision for CASDE Phase-II

Broad Objectives To consolidate gains made from Phase-I To be a hub of knowledge in the area of Systems Design (SD) & Systems Engineering (SE) To build up core competencies in select areas To provide intellectual support to Aerospace industry in select areas for their on-going & future projects To continue providing specialist manpower in the areas of SD & SE

Phase-II Proposal Preparation

Nov. ‘02 – First draft of Phase-II submitted to ARDBFull ARDB Support (Rs. 80 Lakhs) for 2 Years

July ’03 – SPC approved a revised proposal for Phase-IIFull ARDB Support (Rs. 110 Lakhs) for 2 Years
