Kajus Casias developed and enhanced mission planning and UAV simulation tooling for the FreyavanApeldoorn/DSE-26 repository, focusing on scalable system design and robust subsystem integration. Over two months, Kajus architected a configurable mission profile framework, implemented swarm and nest sizing algorithms, and integrated aerodynamics, structures, and thermal modeling into an end-to-end UAV simulation loop. Using Python, data engineering, and algorithm optimization, he refactored core modules for maintainability, improved data ingestion pipelines, and expanded metrics and documentation. His work addressed reliability and simulation fidelity, enabling accurate energy budgeting, streamlined mission logistics, and readiness for further testing and hardware integration within the project.
