Concept Proposal for Drone-Based Security at Salisbury College April 12, 2014 The STEM Radicals Stacy Phillips, James Johnson, Jose Hernandez, and Helen Peterson The purpose of this proposal is to offer an innovative way to improve nighttime security on campus at Salisbury College. Admittedly, we are pushing the ethical boundaries on this issue by proposing that we use drones for surveillance on our campus. But, we believe that drones offer possibilities that other kinds of security like video cameras and human security officers do not. Plus, in times when the budget is tight, drones are about as expensive as a video camera system, and they are easier to upgrade. Certainly, they are less expensive that human officers. One human officer can monitor up to five drones at a time, which would greatly expand his or her ability to increase security on campus Current State of Security on Campus Recently, it feels like crime has been going up on campus. A look at last week's Campus Journal confirms that crime on campus is on the rise. On Wednesday night, a student was robbed near Engineering Hall. This weekend, some cars were broken into by the Sigma Nu fraternity. An iPhone and textbooks were stolen The college administration, meanwhile, has been encouraging students to take more classes at night, so the college can increase revenue and expand course offerings. As the college seeks to attract more "non-traditional" students to take professional classes, more people will be on campus at night So, the problem is tha we don't have drones for surveillance of these night-time activities. Without drones, students walking on campus cannot feel safe because no one is keeping track of what is happening. Instead, people are often forced to walk across campus alone in the dark. If they knew drones were hovering above campus, keeping an eye on things, then they would feel much more secure about being on campus at night Using Drones for Campus Security As a surveillance technology, drones are relatively new but they show great promise. A typical video-equipped surveillance drone costs anywhere from $200 to $1000. For example, the DJI Phantom FC40 Quadcopter ($459) has an FPV

Re: proposal document titled -'Concept proposal for drone based security at salisbury college

You can start of as follows:

Upon review of the said proposal I would like to state that the proposal has been well researched in terms of the existing inadequacies of the campus surviellance systems under security measures and how this gap may be solved by the drone systems. Though the content of the proposal focuses on the benefits of this drone system it is not taken into account how the instructor arrived at certain conclusions including

The proposal lacks proffesionality in its wording as it looks like an amateur effort by the instructor and needs to be polished with figures and facts month wise going upto a year of crimes committed on campus. Also the proposal does not have any reference or any pilot study that has been conducted elsewhere that could be sited for additional information to understand the scenario and the alternatives in a better manner.

The proposal influences the reader to accept the concept and to think about drone systems as a possibility but it could have been reinforced better with figures and data graphs.
