Satellite Pictures ...

Rough Location ...

Better Recognition ...

Maybe, first aid kits ...

The the rescue arrives on the The the rescue arrives on the ground …ground …

On ice ...

Or even in the sea!Or even in the sea!

Back to the future!

What is a drone?

According to Wiktionary

A male bee or wasp, which does not work but can fertilize the queen bee

Someone who does not work; a lazy person, an idler

A remotely controlled aircraft, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

Hexa-Copter

Predator

According to Wikipedia

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, as an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), or by several other names, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. The flight of UAVs may operate with various degrees of autonomy: either under remote control by a human operator, or fully or intermittently autonomously, by onboard computers

Usually, we do not call RC airplanes Drones

when they are for recreational purposes!

'What do we already have?

Egyptian Army

'What do we already have?

Teams that I have supervised

SAQR UAV

SAQR - 2014

SAQR II - 2015

QuadCopter

Helicopter

Future?!

It is already here!

All what you have seen in this presentation are prototypes that may be used in different applications

Military applications are the ones that already took off and are used regularly for years

Civilian applications are VERY limited until today

Challenges

Logistic Challenges!

Safety!

Regulations

Regulations are needed ...

Too much is too much!

There are also, many security issues!

Technological Challenges!

Batteries

WeightDurabilityReliabilityExplosive!

Control and Stability!

The drones, generally, need a controller

Autopilots are not an easy task

Availability of electronic components in the local market is a big issue!

Indoor Navigation

Needed for civilian and military applications

Path determination

Obstacle avoidance

Communication

WeightRangePower consumptionAvailability in local market

Just get started!
