Current & Desired State Injured animals can travel substantial distances, may be
difficult to track Game which has been shot and cannot be found leads to
more animal deaths and inefficient hunting Wildlife Tracker will detach from arrow and remain attached
to animal Handheld device will provide GPS location of animal
Previous Action Items Met with RIT Archery Club Made contact with EE professors
Dr. Tsouri Dr. Amuso
Filled in missing engineering requirements values Narrowed down our solution possibilities Made contact with Dr. P. Venkataraman

Arrow Attachment - Electronics GPS Receiver
Receive location coordinates from GPS satellites Power Consumption : 66mW (at 3.3V)
Microcontroller Takes data from GPS receiver and converts it to be compatible with
RF Transmitter Power Consumption : 5 mW (at 2.5V)
RF Transmitter Transmit GPS location from arrow attachment to handheld device Power Consumption : 9mW (at 3.0V)
Battery Provide power to Receiver, Transmitter, and Microcontroller Voltage : 3V
User Device - Electronics Size Constraints: Mobile (Easy to Handle) Power Constraints: Mild User Interface: Straightforward RF Receiver
Receives GPS data from arrow attachment Power Consumption : 15mW (at 3.0V)
GPS Receiver Receive location coordinates of user Power Consumption : 66mW (at 3.3V)
Small LCD Screen Displays map, user, and location of animal
Microcontroller Converts data from RF Receiver to LCD screen Power Consumption : 5 mW (at 2.5V)

Transmission of Signal Must meet FCC Regulations Low frequency waves
Work better around obstacles (e.g. trees) Goal is to utilize AM frequency range (535-1705kHz)
Transmitter must be low weight, low power consumption Receiver has more flexibility

ID Risk Item Effect CauseLikelihood
Severity
Importance
Action to Minimize Risk Owner
1 Effect on flight of the arrowThe attachment could
cause an inaccurate shot
The aerodynamics of the arrow become
faulty3 3 9
Ensure the aerodynamics of the arrow are unaffected by the attachment
Tim/Alex
2 Range of the DeviceLocation of the animal
unknown
The animal becomes out of range of the
device3 3 9 Wireless data transmission test Eric/Joe/Frank
3 Enough holding force for the attachment to the arrow
Tracker doesn’t attach to arrow
Not enough holding force to the arrow
3 3 9Test by applying a pulling force to the
attachment of the arrowTim/Alex
4 Unfamiliarity with wireless Transmitting/Receiving
Difficulties choosing the best method for signal
translation
Lack of RF/wireless transmission knowledge
3 3 9Seek help from an expert in the signals
field (ie. Dr. Amuso)Eric/Joe/Frank
5 Circuitry size constraintWeight and size of arrow
becomes too robustUnnecessary circuitry 3 3 9
Keep the circuitry small enough to fit into your palm
Eric/Joe/Frank
6 Placement of mechanism onto arrow
Cause injury/ harm to the user or effect the accuracy
of the shot
Placing the device towards the butt of the
arrow3 3 9
Avoid placing the device towards the back or mid section of the arrow Tim/Alex
7 Animal falling on top of attachment
The signals from the attachment will be seriously if not completely attenuated
The body of the animal causes a median, for
which signals cannot pass through
2 3 6 Operate in a range of frequency, which signals can pass through the deer carcass Team P14347
8 Detachability of the device
If the device doesn’t detach the attachment
could block the penetration of the shot
Faulty detachment mechanism 2 2 4
Test the device on different material surfaces Tim/Alex
9 Avoiding Patent Infringement Product can’t go to marketLack of attention to detail and patents
2 2 4Be aware and research all current
restraints by patentsTeam P14347
10 Part Lead Times Delays in the projection Procrastination 2 2 4 Ensure the parts are ordered ahead of schedule
Team P14347
11 Durability of attachment (Reusability)
Device is fragile and requires replacing
periodically
Weak materials and poor construction of
device2 1 2
Ensure that weak, brittle materials are a last resort Tim/Alex
12 Budget Conservation Going over budget Poor budgeting 1 1 1 Draft and follow a strict budget Team P14347
