GUI
Graphical User Interface
The GUI is a type of User Interface that allows users to interact with electronic devices through Graphical icons and visual indicators. The actions in a GUI are usually performed through direct manipulation of the graphical elements. The First-Person View (FPV), also known as Remote-Person View (RPV), or simply Video Piloting, a method used to control a Radio-Controlled vehicle from the driver or pilot’s view point. All these features are covered in the GUI department. We also create our in-house GUI.
DAS
Data Acquisition System
The department works with sensors, servos and electronic components to provide important data such as the Altitude, Velocity, Location and First-Person View to the Ground Station. It also controls the payload dropping mechanism and ensures immediate response to a Fire Command from the ground station. Team Vaayushastra is one of the very few teams that creates its own in-house DAS.
D&M
Design and Modelling
This department handles the Designing, Modelling, Simulation and Fabrication of the aircraft. Members of the team begin by first conducting an extensive research, then we use various 3D modelling softwares for designing, Analysing and simulation. Finally, we fabricate the aircraft which includes various processes such as 3D printing, laser cutting, foam cutting, working with composite materials, etc.
S&D

This is one of the major departments of the team. This department ensure that all the team accounts are in place and that money is being spent correctly. We also get in touch with potential investors, who would be interested in funding our endeavours. We also make sure all the documents for the competition like registration, design report, customs and travelling happen smoothly and without any issue.
