WIRELESS SURVEILLANCE MICRO-HELICOPTER

Introduction:
Unmanned aerial vehicle, has recently reached unprecedented levels of growth in diverse
military and civilian application domains, such as power lines inspection, border patrol, rescue
missions, natural gas search, fire prevention, natural disasters and agricultural applications.
Among many UAVs, the small-unmanned aerial vehicles will play an important role in providing
unprecedented situational awareness. VTOL (the Vertical Take-off and Landing UAV) can help
us realize most military and civilian applications. Small-unmanned helicopters have the
characteristics of vertical take-off and landing. Small-unmanned helicopters can perform better
than other aircrafts in loading. However, a helicopter system is very complex to control for the
characteristics ofnon-linearity, open loop instability and channel coupling. Challenges of the
research for the helicopter are received more and more concentration by many researchers.

Existing System:
Most of the helicopters run with human. An unmanned coaxial helicopter developed in
this paper for various applications.

Proposed System:
In order to reduce the complexity of the helicopter control, this paper constructs an
indoor flight control platform for a small micro helicopter, which is convenient for data
collections, data analysis and control law design. Here a CCTV camera attached with the
helicopter; the captured video transmitted through wireless communication to the control section
and the coaxial helicopter controlled from the control section using wireless communication.
Final flight performance can verify the practicability of the proposed control platform for the
helicopter.
