MSD - Mine surveillance drone (P-0015) (MFN 8639)

Abstract

The problems faced in the past and now a days in our country as well as across the globe are deaths due to mines which are still present under the ground in some areas but not detonated yet. One has experienced that during military operations, there is always a risk of human life and difficulty in handling mines by soldiers in order to maintain the efficiency of their operations. There is a need of such device that canbe more reliable and good to save a human life. For the assistance and support for military purposes for this, an Unmanned Arial Vehicle has been designed that can move along some path that have to be cleared and can be navigated from a safe distance. The UAV has a camera for surveillance having the ability to detect metal which is an essential part of explosivematerial.Also monitoring all its flight motions on same distance from the field. For this purpose, wireless communication protocols are used to communicate with UAV. The drone follows the routine of path from start to end and it has a camera for surveillance. This drone is equipped with sensors which are used for object avoidance. DJI autopilot technique is used which makes the drone autonomous and detect obstacles and follow the desired path as well. key words: Image Processing, Internet of Things, Mine Detection, Embedded Control System, Autopilot Drone.
