![]() is designed basically to perform basic drone movements the take-off and landing, yaw, pitch, roll and hovering, therefore the addition of payloads (camera, GPS, delivery etc.) is neglected. Being a stepping stone project, the U.A.V. The first officially indigenous drone made in Nigeria, GULMA, was designed only in 2013 by the Nigerian Air Force. Drones have vast application in both military and civilian use. It is a “stepping-stone” project which has the conspicuous aim of motivating drone design in Nigeria. This project report describes all the work carried out in the design, fabrication and testing of a radio frequency controlled, unmanned aerial vehicle, specifically, a quadcopter. Live streaming was done with the help of laptop during flight. ![]() The entire design generated a compact and low cost surveillance quadcopter with weight of approximately 1.50kg which can take photographs from environments with the aid of the onboard mounted camera. The frame of the quadcopter was made up of very light glass fiber to ensure stability while flying and also to reduce weight of the overall material. The design takes cognizance of the structure model, and hovering stability of the quadcopter. The basic components used for the quadcopter design were Nirvaino Multi-rotor Flight Control Board, brushless motors, Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs), SkyZone FPV Wireless Receiver, LiPoly Cell Battery, Mobius Camera, and 4mm Heat Shrink Tube. The first phase of the paper considered modeling of the quadcopter while the second phase involved system implementation and simulation. The aim of this research is to develop a real-time, compact and cost-effective drone that will be capable of search and rescue operations. ![]() This paper presents the design and implementation of an aerial surveillance quadcopter for search and rescue applications. ![]()
