Conclusion
Definition of MAV
Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) is defined here as a small, portable flying vehicle which is designed for performing useful work. Or
MAV is a very small airborne autonomous vehicle that can operate inside a building using primarily
visual and other sensory information to navigate
MAV Mission Micro Air Vehicles is capable of a wide range of useful military
missions and among them are;
Surveillance missions (over the hill) Infrared images of battlefields and urban areas (around the
corner)
Hostage rescue Mine detection in war zone
Damage assessment in war zones
Proximal reconnaissance
indoors or outdoors Targeting
Bio-Chemical Sensing Anti-Terrorism Action
MAV MISSION
TYPES OF MAV & THEIR MISSION
Fixed wing MAV for long endurance outdoors missions
Ornithopter MAVs for long endurance outdoors missions
Rotary MAVs for short endurance outdoor missions with hover
Entomopter MAVs for indoors missions
CHARACTERISTICS OF MAV No dimension exceeds 6 in (15 cm) Gross takeoff weight 100 grams
Loiter time of 60 minutes Speed 35-75 kmph
Payload capacity of at least 20 grams Ultra low noise Vision based obstacle avoidance Micro Range 10 km
Application Areas
MAV APPLICATION
AREAS
Airborne telecommunications relays in countries that lack required infrastructure
Traffic monitoring
Railroad safety
Fire and rescue
operations
Inspection of Industrial
emission into the
atmosphere
Wildlife surveys
Real-estate aerial
photography
Search for survivors
Road accident documentation
Wildlife surveys
Forestry
Communication Nodes/GPS
Power-line inspection
Geophysical surveys for oil and mineral companies
Border surveillanc
e
Snap inspection of pollution
Car TheftMonitoring
Gas monitoring over active volcanoes
Riot control
MAV Application Area & Requirement
Riot Control observe the behaviour of the civilians observe the suspect facilities
The long range of operation is required as well as the ability to fly against strong opposing winds
MAV Application Area & Requirement
Inspection of Industrial emission into the atmosphere
Capability to take sample of industrial emissions released to the atmosphere
Inspectors only need to stop relatively close to the site and take the sample as fast as possible
An ability to negotiate fast winds would be required
An ability to take off vertically would be advantageous
MAV Application Area & RequirementSearch for survivors
Capable of finding survivors in cases of disasters
MAV could be used to penetrate the rubble to locate lives in such issues.
Ability for manoeuvrability will required (Entomopter MAVs )
MAV Application Area & Requirement
Power-line inspection
There is a need to inspect various types of pipelines
This task can be assigned to different types of robots
MAVs will be able to perform such mission without minimal preparation even in complicated installations
high manoeuvrability would be necessary as well as good flight efficiency
MAV Application Area & Requirement
Border surveillance
To patrol borders as means of preventing illegal immigrants and smugglers
More economical than to build a whole wall across the border
The long range of operation is required as well as the ability to fly against strong opposing winds
conclusion
Even though we have been able to achieve our target.
Nevertheless, there are still more room for further
research in this area since we believe there are more
areas we may have not taught off.
Thank s for your
audience!!!!!!!!!
