Benefits of the ProjectTelemetry system finds many real world applications with its vast benefits in
many fields. We have devised a telemetry system in a UAV with low costsensor board for automatic transmission of real time data to our ground unit.The telemetry system is useful for real time data transmission over longdistances and less noise affect and bidirectional communication. It is usedwidely in UAVs for its monitoring and controlling through ground unit.Following are the key benefits:
Wireless data transmission over long distances. Bi directional communication between the UAV and ground station. Monitoring of the UAV from portable ground unit.
High precision low cost sensor board for measuring atmospheric and aircraftparameters.

To convert an RC plane into an
Autonomous UAV Basic difference between an RC plane and an unmanned aerial vehicle
is that unlike a RC plane, UAV can perform autonomous operation andnavigation with automatic take off and landing.
With design of a sensor board and a low cost telemetry system fortransferring the remote data to ground control station, an idea we havein mind which we going to implement in future is to convert the RCplane into an autonomous Unmanned aerial vehicle, by designing anautopilot board and merging it with our sensor board.
Many autopilot boards are available but with high cost and somelimitations.
Designing a low cost autopilot board will remove any limitations andhelp us to fuel this research and to promote this technology in Pakistan.
