GSM based Aircraft

Protection System
Problem:
How would we detect :

• if the temperature of a engine/machine or environment goes

high above a certain level

• if malfunction or overloading of machines leading to smoke.

• if spark or any flash caused due to malfunctions

 Solution:

• So we have found a solution to use a GSM based Aircraft Protection

System that detects smoke, temperature as well as light to keep track of
accidents.
So here we are using
• Temperature sensor to detect a possible incident due to the
rising of temperature.
• Smoke detectors to detect smoke due to overloading of
machines and engines
• A light sensor to detect light due to spark or any flash caused
due to malfunctions in Aircraft.
Working Principle:

All these indicators/sensors constantly provide their

input to the microcontroller connected to them. The
microcontroller constantly processes this data. On
encountering a warning signal from any of these
sensors the microcontroller now communicates this
data to a GSM modem interfaced to it and sends out an
SMS message to pilot as a warning.

 Introduction to ATmega328:

• ATmega328 is an 8-bit, 28-Pin AVR Microcontroller, has a

flash-type program memory of 32KB.
• It has 8 Pins for ADC operations, which all combine to form
Port A ( PA0 – PA7 ).
• It operates ranging from 3.3V to 5.5V but normally we use 5V
as a standard.
• It also has 3 built-in Timers, two of them are 8 Bit timers while
the third one is 16-Bit Timer
 Introduction to GSM Modem

The SIM900 is a complete Quad-band GSM/GPRS solution in a SMT

module which can be embedded in the customer applications.

SIM900 delivers GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900MHz performance for

voice, SMS, Data, and Fax in a small form factor and with low power
consumption.

It's supply voltage range is 3.1V to 4.8V

With a tiny configuration of 24mm x 24mm x 3 mm, SIM900 can fit almost
all the space requirements in your M2M application, especially for slim and
compact demand of design.
 Introduction to Relay Driver (ULN2803)

• ULN2803 is a high-voltage and high-current Darlington

transistor array and is mainly used as a relay driver with an
ability to handle 8 relays at a time.
• It comes with a collector-emitter voltage around 50 V and
input voltage residing at 30 V.
