Problem Statement• Design and develop a Bomb Rack Unit (BRU) that is attached to the
Tigershark UAV capable of housing and launching a cylindrical payload.
• BRU must contain an electrical box which will allow space for an electrical team to design and integrate an electrical interface to control in-flight operation of the BRU.
• Provide budget analysis for BRU
• Design and construction of a prototype

Constraints• BRU must not exceed 5 lbs.
• Capable of holding a payload that is 10lbs
• Operation in temperature range -20 to 60 degrees C and during rain exposure
• Retain payload during aircraft maneuvers up to 2GS lateral load and 1G landing shock.
