AMATEUR UAV

AMATEUR UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle)

AIM:-To construct an AMATEUR UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle), for surveillance at small level and have an auto-pilot flight for the desired mission .

PROJECT SPECIFICATION:-

An Aero-model with a auto-pilot kit that will be made by me. Presently working on its PCB layout and theory of different parts.Kit will include:-

1) At-mega128

2) Gps

3) Gyroscope

4) Xyz horizon sensor or accelerometer

5) pitot tube

6) Camera and zigbee-pro.

7) Compass (for direction).

8) A software to track wave point on our system (integrating Google earth with gps) or GCS(ground control station.)

THEORY:-

Kit will be programmed with win-avr programmer using embedded C programming language. Project will be carried out in 4 steps.

1) Developing the electronics using eagle-pro pcb layout development software.

2) Developing the programming needed for auto-pilot mode.

3) Testing the programming during flight only.

4) Developing the programming for auto Take off and landing.

AIM BHIND PROJECT:-

Our aim behind this project is to enhance our knowledge in ROBOTICS AND AEROMODELLING and to learn the technical skills and how to implement them in our practical life beside lab practicals.

Our aim is to built a fully ARMY purpose PRE-PROGRAMMED/MANUALLY controlled SPY aircraft that also has the ability to strike in the enemy territory

Presently India is spending about 1180 crore rupees in importing UAV’s from Israel and America, but

India doesn’t have the complete technology or may be have like LAKSHYA (developed by HAL). But we are introducing very new not very precise but basic concept with less investment.

RESEARCH LIMITATIONS:-

1)It will be not be made on industrial scale and will be a research cum project cum hobby.

2)It is not powered by a jet or a reciprocating engine.

3)Low speed.

4)Range of operation is less.

5)Cannot carry more weight.

6)Camera resolution and accuracy is less.

Many new applications can be added to it in the futre to make it more advance and accurate

PRACTICAL IMPLIMENTATION:-

Watching the news of KARGIL war in T.V. make me to think that when we have one of the best institutes and brains with us than why we are using man power in wars. At that time a point strikes in my mind that why not we make a small aero-model that too have the capability of spy as well as striker in it.

Infact India has got UAV’s but we are just implementing our technology at very basic and small level.

A movie named as “EAGLE EYE” is also my source of inspiration. This movie shows the basic use of UAV as a spy and striker.

So this model can be used in the following cases if integrated on a little bit large scale using bigger airframe and more efficient reciprocating engine to increase its payload:-

1) Remote sensing

2) Transport

3) Scientific research

4) Armed attacks

5) Search and rescue

Originality/value:-

Project has been approved by one of the Assistant professor of IITK Dr. Priya Ranjan and I am working under his mentor ship as well as under mine college lecturer Mr.Avinash Pal.
