The Development of Wildlife Tracking System Using Mobile Phone Communication Network and Drone

Abstract

In recent year, damaging crops by wildlife is becoming serious all over the country. On the other hand, unmanned aerial vehicle systems such as GPS, communication technology and drone have been further developed, and it is becoming possible to develop an automatic tracking system that accurately grasps the position of wildlife. Therefore, in this research, to elucidate the ecology and behavioral characteristics of wildlife, we aim to develop an automatic tracking system using drone. From the experimental results, it was confirmed that the GPS tracking by the drone is possible by sending a command using the mobile phone communication network. In this paper, we report about these details.
