Unmanned aerial vehicle based bomb detection

Abstract

In any Bomb rescue operation, time factor plays a vital role. As Bomb can explore at any moment, Our task is to reduce the time consuming to detect the Bomb when compared to manual detection. Detecting Bomb manually is highly risky and much time consuming process. In this paper we propose a new technique using “Quadcopter” nothing but UA V (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). It is an air vehicle which has multiple rotors (in our paper it is 4) and is controlled by the RC transmitter (joysticks). An attempt has been made to detect the bomb by using Geiger counter module. Geiger module can detect any type of radioactive radiation emitted from the Bomb. Bomb location information is sent to the user by making use of GPS and GSM modules. We integrated Geiger module, GPS module, GSM module, Arduino-UNO as a payload to the quadcopter. We need to pass the quadcopter on the area in which the operator wants to examine and if any Bomb is present, then Geiger tube detects it Then immediately Bomb location is sent to the operator's mobile by GPS and GSM modules. The main objective of this paper is to ensure the safety of the operator and to reduce the detection process time when compared to manual detection.
