3. 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
6. 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)
7. • 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
8. 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
