Quadcopter Video Surveillance Over FANET

Abstract

Due to many characteristics of UAVs, they can be used in a number of fields and they have a large number of applications and one of the latest trends is using multiple UAVs in place of single UAV. Mostly UAVs are remotely piloted which reduces there range of performance as the range of communication is limited Their range of application can be increased by establishing an ad-hoc network between them, such an ad-hoc network of UAV is known as Flying Adhoc Network (FANET). Also it overcome some of the problems of infrastructure-based networks. FANET differs from other ad-hoc networks in many ways hence it should be handled differently. The main problem with FANET or other multi-UAV systems is communication between UAVs. With improved commu- nication FANET will Find many new applications and help to improve other multi UAV applications.
