Build ambitious systems. Document them rigorously.
This section is the technical backbone of the AERL site. The landing pages handle public-facing orientation. These docs hold the real engineering material: derivations, simulations, implementation details, validation targets, theory, logs, and resource collections.
What lives here
These pages are organized to support actual engineering work:
- project hubs for current technical efforts
- implementation context and systems architecture
- theory and background for members learning the stack
- validation criteria, test logs, and follow-up actions
- public resources, repositories, and technical writeups
Snapshot
Flagship Program
FCS
A current systems program combining embedded control, simulation, and physical validation on a real test platform.
Core Committees
4
Controls, hardware, electronics, and simulation teams with clear engineering ownership.
Primary Outcome
Handoff
Every cycle should end with reusable documentation, code, and tested engineering knowledge.
Documentation Scope
End-to-end
Overview, theory, architecture, timeline, logs, and resources all live in one route tree.
