Abstract
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) like drones and quadcopters have revolutionised
flight. They help humans to take to the air in new, profound ways. The military use of
larger size UAVs has grown because of their ability to operate in dangerous
locations while keeping their human operators at a safe distance. Here quadcopter
as a small UAV is developed. It is the unmanned air vehicles and playing a
predominant role in different areas like surveillance, military operations, fire sensing,
traffic control and commercial and industrial applications. The main objective of this
project is to learn the design, construction and testing procedure of quadcopter. In
the proposed system, design is based on the approximate payload carry by
quadcopter and weight of individual components which gives corresponding
electronic components selection. The selection of materials for the structure is
based on weight, forces acting on them, mechanical properties and cost.
Objective
The objective of the Design and Fabrication of Short Surveillance Drone project is to
develop a lightweight, compact, and cost-effective unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
with advanced surveillance capabilities. The drone aims for autonomous operation,
incorporating obstacle avoidance, long-lasting battery life, and reliable wireless
communication. Emphasis is placed on cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface,
customization, and compliance with regulations, intending to provide an efficient
solution for short-range surveillance missions in various applications such as
security, monitoring, and emergency response.
