INTRODUCTION

• UNMANNED ARIAL VEHICLE is an aeroplane fitted with GPS, Zigbee module and a wireless camera which is controlled from a ground station. This vehicle has the following features:

1. Can be controlled from the ground using a remote control

2. Videos are captured by the camera installed and recorded at high resolution in the ground station.

3. Wireless control.

4. Navigation assist

OVERVIEW

TECHNOLOGIES USED

• GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM• Created and realized by the American Department of

Defense (DOD) • Run with 24 satellites

• NAVSTAR (Navigation System for Timing and Ranging)

is commonly it is referred to as GPS. • Space segment (satellites)• Control segment (control stations)• User segment (GPS receiver)

• ZIGBEE• a specification for a suite of high level communication

protocols• uses small, low-power digital radios • used in embedded applications requiring low data rates

and low power consumption• There are three different types of ZigBee devices:

ZigBee coordinator, ZigBee Router, ZigBee End Device

MICROCONTROLLER

• AT mega 32 controller • High-performance, Low-power AVR® 8-bit Microcontroller• Advanced RISC Architecture• 131 Powerful Instructions – Most Single-clock Cycle

Execution• 32 x 8 General Purpose Working Registers• Up to 16 MIPS Throughput at 16 MHz• 32K Bytes of In-System Self-programmable Flash program

memory• 1024 Bytes EEPROM• 2K Byte Internal SRAM

AERIAL SECTION

• Consist of four main parts• Aircraft, GPS module, zigbee transmitter, camera

GROUND SECTION

• Consists of zigbee receiver,PC,Microcontroller,lcd display
