The second session of interaction was really an interesting one! In the beginning of the session, there was discussion about our blogs and the mistakes which should be corrected in our blogs.Then CANDIDATES HANDBOOK was issued which helped us to know about the SOAR(Students Orientation for Aerospace & Embedded Systems Requirement) program,the topics to be covered in the training and the code of conduct of the program.According to me,the book is very advantageous because we come to know the topic to be discussed in the next session in prior,so that we are well prepared for the topic
.
Today's session was all about introduction to Embedded System,Real Time Operating System(RTOS),application of embedded systems in Defense and Aerospace and the different embedded systems.Firstly missiles,which are used to destroy the moving targets such as a flights.The missiles are of two types namely heat chaser missiles and laser guided missiles.Then we learned about the different networks which are used to control the missiles.Then we came to know about the different control systems used in the aircraft for the safety landing of the aircraft. As the session progressed,we got to know about the exact problems faced by the aircraft's and the pilots while landing the flights such as cross winds.Many videos which were shown to us clearly explained the above mentioned problems.It explained about the corrective measures taken by the pilot during landing such as crab movement.The other videos showed were featuring the different types of air crashes that have taken place so far which added enhancements to our thoughts.
The complete session gave me an idea about the various problems faced by the aircraft and made me understand how accurate the embedded systems should be designed as very small error in designing the systems leads to serious disasters.Am sure that the future sessions are going to be more interesting and challenging.Am going to prepare myself both mentally and physically to face the future sessions and hopefully bring some good innovations in the field of Avionics.
