What is an UAV flight controller

A low-cost, versatile, autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle flight controller is an electronic system, comprised of hardware and software, able to fully control any type of small fixed-wing aircraft often known as radio-controlled model airplanes.

Given the high availability and low cost of these fixed-wing aircraft, by developing a matching low-cost flight controller system, it could be possible to deploy various UAVs at a time to actively monitor high-risk areas autonomously, relaying critical information to firefighters while having few manned interventions in the surveillance process.

Goal for this Project and Beneficiaries

The goal for this project is to be able to be actively monitoring various hectares of land to reduce the responding time between fire deflagration, detection, and communication with the authorities.

This reduction in time will be highly beneficial for firefighters by providing more information about high-risk areas before, during, and after a fire event, thus reducing the risk of injury and death.
