A module helicopter is required to assist the game reserve industry. The module should get the flight path form the headquarters and by using the auto pilot, it should follow the flight plan. This research concept is not new, but the concept has to be implemented more cost effectively, since available systems are not cost effective.

Design a cost effective module helicopter that will be used to assist in the following Monitor the game reserve. Animal count. Detect and give alerts of poachers. Take photos of the wild file. Track wild life traveling path.
Background theory
Module helicopters come in different sizes and types and they are used as toys, security, geographical photo capturing and military applications. They are also called UAV’s (unmanned air vehicle) or drones. The design of these UAV vary form a simple battery type module controlled be an RC controller to a sophisticated rocket propelled UAV with on board weapon that can fly from one side of the world to another.

Project overview

The Module helicopter to be designed is based on the following features
Features
Auto Pilot control System. GPS Global Positioning system. Digital Camera System. RF communication system (Wi-Fi radio transceiver module). Remote Control System. Gyro, accelerometer and compass system. Ultrasonic range sensor Laser range sensor Digital barometer sensor. Power supply. Main Processing
