Design and Development of Triphibian Drone

Abstract: In this paper, we propose the use of triphibian drones equipped with sensors to detect various miscellaneous activities in forest areas. Air dominance and control is a major factor for any country in case of international safety and for domestic purpose. These days unmanned aerial vehicles play a vital role for any country for its international and domestic safety. Modern setup are only limited to amphibious UAV’s which can move in air and water or air and land. Seeking to the recent needs and safety with time having a triphibian drone can provide an overall control over the territory. A triphibian drone is a type of UAV the can move in air, water and land. Increase in wildfires, environment degradation caused due to climate change and human activities like deforestation, environmental pollution have put forests in danger. The aim of this project is to build a triphibian quadcopter with on board equipment’s to predict wildfires, weather, detecting trespassing, smuggling and other illegal activities in forest areas thereby contributing in reserving the natural resources of the country.
