Capstone Projects: Disruptive technologies

Commercial Technologies with Disruptive Applications by 1/C Brad Cash (Class of 2010)



The overall purpose of this project is to explore what type of capabilities a domestic terrorist could achieve using commercial technologies that could prove harmful to the U.S. by supporting asymmetric disruption. For this particular project, we explored how to control a cheap off-the-shelf RC vehicle from considerable distances by using the wireless Verizon 3G network. The vehicle is equipped with a small Artigo Pico ITX kit computer on board and connected to the 3G
network via a wireless modem. The user controls the vehicle via a webpage.
