ABSTRACT

In the last few years, (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) UAV systems have become relevant for applications in precision farming, military purposes, road and dam surveillance etc. The name UAV covers all vehicles, which are flying in the air whether it is a plane or a helicopter, etc, with no person on board to control the aircraft. This project gives an overview about UAV systems. UAVs are costly systems and flexible. The aim is to develop a UAV system which is low in cost and its performance would be up to standard. Nigeria as a developing nation cannot affect these costly systems and afford the loss of lives of our pilots as well. Therefore, a low cost UAV system will have to be used because it is the need of today. Due to the advancement in satellite receiver tracking systems, an integrated system employing latest tracking techniques using satellite reciever in the form of GPS integrated with an aerospace vehicle can be used to get the pictures from the attached camera. The data of GPS is transferred to base station with the help of mobile phone, another mobile phone on the base station side receive that data and then it is stored in the Database. Radio frequency transmitter controls the aerospace by integrating the above technique & it uses Global Position System (GPS) as a tracking tool.
