Drone
- 1. INTRODUCTION • Drones are also known as UAV: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle . • It is an aircraft without an onboard pilot, unlike the conventional airplanes. • It’s flight is either pre-defined or controlled autonomously by computers or under the remote control of a pilot on the ground. • Drones covers a very broad category of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVS) that can be used for anything from military or commercial purposes, to personal entertainment.

TYPESOF DRONES • Quadcopters The quadcopter uses 4 rotors positioned at the ends of a square on the drone body. • GPS Drones These drones are linked to satellites via GPS. • Helicopter Drones This model uses a single rotor to stay up in the air. It resembles a remote-control helicopter that can stay in the air for a long time. • Delivery Drones Delivery drones have an anchor or basket attached to their body where the package can be affixed and transported by the drone. • Photography Drones These drones have a camera/video camera attached to their body and are specially built to withstand the damage done by harsh weather to the cameras. • Alternative-powered Drones A class of drones exist which run on gas power, solar power. • Endurance Drones The best drones for flying far and long. Endurance drones can stay in the air for three consecutive days, and can reach mid-boggling heights of 30,000ft above sea level.
- 6. DRONEANATOMY A. Propeller Drone typically consists of two puller and two pusher props B. Motors Drone use motors to turn propellers C. Electronic Speed Controller(ESC) Needed to control the brushless motors
- 7. DRONE ANATOMY D. Flight Controller/ Autopilot Assists manual flights along with some autonomous function E. Airframe consists of the housing enclosing the electronics, motor booms(arms), and platform F. Battery Pack powers the drones electronics and keeps propellers turning (often Lipoly battery)
- 8. DRONE ANATOMY G. Camera Gimbal - the rotating platform for the camera - allows user to angle the camera during flight H. Landing Struts Legs that the drone rests on when it is grounded I. Front Indicator operators use different methods to indicate the front of the UAV such as • LEDs • reflective material • different colored props • and so on
- 9. DRONE ANATOMY J. First-Person Video Camera Camera that allows images to be transmitted to the user K. Receiver Translates the user’s instructions for the flight controller

- 12. DIFFERENT FLIGHT MODES • Acro Mode • Altitude Hold • Drift Mode • Auto Hold • Circle Mode • Guided Mode • RTL Mode • Loiter Mode
- 13. ADVANCED FEATURES • Mission planning : Mission planning is easy with Mission planner,which is a free,open-source software compatible with APM. • Waypoints : A GPS module is essential for providing the autopilot with location data that allows the autopilot to interact with the real world. • Telemetry : To communicate with the ground station from the air using the Mavlink protocol. • Gimbal : A drone support us to 3-axis gimbals and triggering of a camera shutter automatically.
- 14. SOFTWARE DETAIL View Point is the ground based control software that displays video feeds from the surveillance drone and allows users to control and command the TASE series gimbals. The software is sophisticated and allows for :- The camera to be controlled via joystick Real-time image mosaic (picture-in-picture from camera, infrared camera, and laser range tracker). Geographic stamping that will automatically orient the camera to the selected object on a map. Object tracking. Path tracking. Between the software and the actual physical units, surveillance possibilities are quite sophisticated and allow for the tracking of people and objects in a variety of different environments.
- 15. APPLICATIONON AGRICULTURAL FIELD • Mid-Season Crop Health Monitoring (aka Scouting). • Irrigation Equipment Monitoring. • Mid-Field Weed Identification. • Variable-Rate Fertility. • Cattle Herd Monitoring.
- 16. APPLICATIONIN SPORTS • Drones were used in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi for filming skiing and snowboarding events. • Drones allow to get videos closer to the athletes, they are more flexible than cable-suspended camera systems. • Team coaches can view the team’s performance on the pitch as well as analyse the players. • Sports advertising agencies use drones to take pictures and shoot sports videos for using as promotional materials on their website .
- 17. DRONES IN THE MILITARY • Anytime a drone can be used to protect the lives of the military;they will be armed with live video remote communications to ground troops, essential gear, or weapons. • The main drone use overseas in war zones is reconnaissance of unknown areas/buildings, enemy tracking, and force protection. • Drones are a great tool to assist in searches for lost or injured soldiers as well as a real-time view of various missions and situations allowing for commanders to make better decisions in resource allocations.
- 18. DRONES FOR HUMANITY Delivery Drones • The project intends to be an alternative to the transport done with the mini-van. It was created by MIT graduate Star Simpson • Pizza deliveries via drone are now being trialed in New Zealand by Domino's. Health Care • Drones can transport medicines and vaccines, and retrieve medical samples, into and out of remote regions. • Ambulance drones rapidly deliver medicines in the crucial few minutes after cardiac arrest. Disaster Relief • Drones can be used as relief in natural disasters like Flood, Hurricane, Earthquake etc.
- 19. Ways AI And Drones Are Opening UP A Billion $ Market AI can map aerial data space and help people operate faster and with better accuracy and has helped to create visual intelligence for prospective industries. Some Advantages of using AI powered drones:- i) Advanced,effortless capture of real time data using drones to replace millions of surveillance cams ii) Scanning 3D models of engineering products to pinpoint structural defects iii) Functioning as an excellent communications device able to receive and convey signals even in void habitats
- 20. ADVANTAGES • They provide the attack capability for high risk missions and they originate mostly in the military applications . • They are used in the commercial , the scientific and the recreational . • They are able to fly into such dangerous zones where it would of high risk for the pilot to take the craft and to gather the information . • They can fly in air to complete the respective job in every natural circumstances. • They reduce man loss . • They are very cheaper to purchase ,fuel and maintenance cost are lower than regular airplanes .
- 21. DISADVANTAGE • They help in surveillance but they can’t establish communication with the people for far reached intelligence. • The human mistakes in remote can cause the drones to crash. • The computer systems can be break down causing the loss of planes or casualties on ground. • The drone can be taken control by the enemy in war. • Abandoned war material can not be captured by drones.
- 22. LEGALITY Private sector (civil) operators are granted an “experimental airworthiness certificate” to do research and development, flight demonstrations, and training. Public sector (public) operators are granted a COA , usually for the purpose of law enforcement, firefighting, border patrol, disaster relief, military training, search and rescue, and other governmental operational missions . Applicants for COAs request authorization online with operation proposals. The FAA then evaluates these proposals to determine whether the operation can be conducted safely An authorization usually requires coordination with an air traffic control facility and may require a transponder on the UAS depending on the airspace it will occupy. When the UAS operates outside airspace restricted from other users, a visual observer or “chase plane” is required to maintain visual contact with the UAS.
