 Project Objective

In real life it is easy to control single drone at

particular instant,it is hard to control drone more
than one at particular instant.

So,our project main objective is implemention of

protoctol so that we can control as much as drone we
want to control.

3)PC Sever:-

To send data from Python Script PC server is used.PC server consist
ROS Software it convert python high language into binary data and
send via radio module to drones.Here CRTP(Radio Transmission
Protocol) is used.

4) Python-Script:-

Python Script is file that consist series of instruction which we want
to perform.

To create python script high level function is used.

According to requiment these functoin is used.
Working

Python script is feed into ROS(robot operating System) which
convert into binary data file.This file is convert into 32 bit packet by
PC server.This packet send to drone according to there address.Drone
receive this packet and send back signal of getting of
packet.According to packet drone follow instuction.
Application:-
 Mobile defibrillation for emergencies, monitoring patients and
other health-related activities
 Surveillance

 Marketing,Business and Management

 Mapping

 Security


Hobby

Military
 Research

 Delivery (distribution/transportation) of supplies/goods/mails

 Aerial images/footage
Future Ehnecement:-
Further research and development its going on this
project.Next goal is to archive “Hierarchical Drone
swarm”.Getting this much of success the day is not
more away that drone swarm approach make our future
more easy,more safe and good.
 Simulation
 Example of Python-Script
 Simulink model of Drone

 Real Life simultion of Drone swarm with help of

MATLAB Plot and ROS(Robot Operting System)

Conclusion:-
The swarm idea inherently drives drone development
toward autonomy. Smart drone swarm technology could have a
significant impact on every area of military capability,delivering
kinetic ammunitions. Swarms of small attack drones that
confuse and overwhelm antiaircraft defenses could soon
become an important part of the modern military arsenal,
something that would mark a major evolution in robot-enabled
warfare.

Advances in computer power, processing speed and AI

are rapidly changing the scope of what platforms are able to
perform without needing human intervention. At the moment,
multiple humans are often needed to control a single drone, and
new algorithms increasing autonomy for drones could greatly
change this ratio
