Fully-automatic UAV

I had some ideas about a UAV (Unmanned aerial vehicle) that was completely automatic it took off, reached an altitude and land again. because my experience isn't enough in lasers, thyme and machines that have radars or something, I'd really like some of professional guys ( :ugeek: ) that work on it and discuss their ideas, mine is:
it should use a combination of laser guidance, radar, and speed sensor etc. in algobox, you can see a lot of lase guided missiles, radars, etc. please think about it and if it's built, it will be great.

Wait, so you're asking other people to build it for you? :problem:

not for me, i am inviting people to think about it, since i don't have enough experience to bring my idea to life i give my idea to other people, should my idea be wasted?

No, you should learn how to do it. It's more rewarding when you do something you want to without help.

technically, it would be easier to get a good math knowledge than a good scripting knowledge when dealing with algodoo, as it's lacking some functions, which need to be emulated. btw, laser sensors can still work as radars.

i've tried to make an automatic plane(but still controllable manually by using fly-by-wire systems, as the motor was placed too much aft, giving it alot of instablity(and alot of control that way).) hovewer its auto-pilot failed hard, as it usually decided to get too much of a low pitch when trying to get to a position, making it to try an inverse loop and crash onto the ground :lol:, and its too much complicated, to the point on which a helicopter-like model is better.

thanks to dear Chronos, i was motivated and actually learned some thyme, enough to make a radar:
see it here : http://www.algodoo.com/algobox/details.php?id=38493
also, I'm working on a homing missile that uses the same laser sensor technology and the the stinger missile's Lock-on Mechanism, maybe later, when i got a decent scripting knowledge, i get to the UAV !
again, thanks dear Chronos! :mrgreen:

Ok, I made one. VERY ROUGH though. You can make it better, I just wanted to prove that you can make one.

it's a bit unstable but thanks, any body that has any ideas present them.
