This document summarizes an amateur unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) project being undertaken by Shailendra Singh and Priya Ranjan. It describes the specifications of their UAV, which includes an At-mega128 microcontroller, GPS, gyroscope, and accelerometer sensors. It outlines the phases of the project, including initial remote control, then semi-autonomous and fully autonomous flight. Diagrams show the basic aircraft layout and sensors. The document also discusses UAV classification and applications, as well as future prospects like swarm UAVs and advanced vehicle management systems.

3. A Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is an
uncrewed aircraft .
Or
A UAV can be defined as an
aircraft flying in auto pilot mode or
manual mode with various
operation to be performed feeded
inside it or to be controlled by
GCS.

UAV FUNCTIONS
6. AMATEUR UAV:-
AMATEUR because-
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.
OUR PROJECT:-
7. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS
● An Aero-model with a auto-pilot kit that will be made by me. Presently
working on its PCB layout. Kit will include:-
● 1) At-mega128
● 2) GPS (GPS receiver with antenna-5V TTL)
● 3) Gyroscope (single axis ±300 °/Second Analog Yaw Gyroscope
module)
● 4) MMA7361L ±1.5g, ±6g Three axis Low-G Accelerometer Module.
● 5) pitot tube (KIT MPXV5004DP)(optional)
● 6) Camera and zigbee-pro.
● 7)Magnetic compass HMC 6352
● 8) Ground control station(HK GCS)

14. Algorithm
Program where
Destination GPS
coordinates are
placed
Program where
distance and elivation
between 2
coordinates is find out
using HAVERSINE
FORMULA
Program where
Elivation of the
aeromodel is find out
using
GYROSCOPE AND ACCE
LEROMETER
Programm to take the
OUTPUT of GPS in
GGA AND RMC format
.
Programm to generate
the PWM for the
servo to control the
aircraft surface.
Program for PID
feedback loop. which
will tell us that the
required elivation angle
has been covered by
the Aeromodel or not.
Central program
which will take I/P
from all other
programs and direct
the aeromodel to
move through
different coordinates
as directed
