# IFL Overview

For a high level description of the IFL and its capabilities, see the IFL website "[About the IFL](https://ifl.ae.gatech.edu/about-the-ifl/)" page.

**What tools the IFL provides:**

* A \~30 camera Vicon system along with associated peripherals.
* A GTAE-IT-managed Windows 11 PC equipped with a high end network card for interfacing with the Vicon hardware, and installed with Vicon Tracker 3.
* A high end low-ping gaming router connected for connecting remote devices to the Vicon network using WiFi.
* An overhead tether system for catching your aircraft or hoisting anything such as a drop mechanism or camera.
* Enough air mattresses to cover the entire space as well as inflater/deflater pumps. Use these as crash mats to protect your drone from crash damage.
* A Github repo containing multiple options for connecting to the IFL network and getting Vicon data onboard your vehicle.

**What the IFL does not provide:**

* Vicon markers (these can be bought in multiple places such as [B\&L Engineering](https://bleng.com/#)).
* Any robots (ground or aerial) or associated hardware.
* Any hardware or software for implementing specific functionality (such as radio links, microcontrollers, or robot command/control software).
