THE RESEARCH PROGRAM
DRONE RESEARCH PROGRAM BANGLADESH. FOCUS AREAS, METHODS, OPEN PROBLEMS. PUBLISHED WORK WHEN IT IS REAL.
FOCUS AREAS
AUTONOMY WORKFLOWS
Workflows that run without a human in the loop: mission scripting, waypoint logic, and graceful degradation when telemetry drops.
- OPEN PROBLEM: How much autonomy can run on compute we can build and repair locally?
- OPEN PROBLEM: How does a waypoint mission degrade gracefully when telemetry drops?
SENSOR AND PAYLOAD INTEGRATION
Sensor and payload integration for deployment: mounts, bays, power and data paths that survive field conditions.
- OPEN PROBLEM: How do we standardize payload mounts across airframes without slowing prototypes?
FIELD DEPLOYMENT SUPPORT
Deployment support: power, comms, recovery, repair. Scoped as engagement phases; no past deployments are claimed.
- OPEN PROBLEM: What does a support package look like when the hardware is real? Defined with the first partner, not on paper.
HOW THE WORK RUNS
DESIGN REVIEW
Every area starts on paper: scope, requirements, and the honest gap between the idea and the factory.
PROTOTYPE
Hardware is built in the Binary Division factory. Frames, mounts and enclosures are printed in-house before anything is bolted together.
BENCH
Subsystems are tested on the bench first: power, comms, sensors. Bench failure is cheaper than flight failure.
STAGED FLIGHT TEST
Flight testing starts only when a platform earns the FLIGHT TEST label. Nothing flies early to look good.
THE STATUS LADDER ENFORCES THE METHOD: CONCEPT → IN DESIGN → PROTOTYPE → FLIGHT TEST.
PUBLICATIONS
NONE YET.
THE PROGRAM PUBLISHES WHEN THE WORK IS REAL: DATA, FLIGHT LOGS AND RESULTS. NOTHING IS PRINTED TO LOOK ACTIVE.
WORK WITH THE PROGRAM
Universities and researchers can brief the program on a problem, sponsor a focus area, or ride along on a prototype build. The brief desk is the door, and the answer is always an honest read.
