Design and Development of a Micro Drone to Enhance Rescue Missions in Fire-Affected Zones

Firefighting operations under risky conditions expose crews to risks such as heat and poor visibility. This project is focused on developing and manufacturing a micro drone to enhance rescue effectiveness by navigating congested spaces and making real-time observation. The development process consists of aerodynamic modelling in SolidWorks to ensure stability and maneuverability, and functionality is enhanced by using high-performance materials, sensors, and optical systems. Accuracy is achieved in manufacturing by vertical tower milling to produce accurate parts. The flight time and obstacle avoidance are tested on the prototype.
