Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) technology is one of the fastest growing technologies nowadays and is deployed in various fields. UAVs are used in many domains such as surveillance, precision agriculture, mapping and surveying, militaries etc. UAVs can move fast, it can enable the user to look past walls and fences, and it provides a large aerial view of the area where the drone flies. UAVs can also be used to harness information from dangerous places to prevent human casualties. These advantages of UAVs allow us to use Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in many fields. This paper proposes a prototype of an automatic artillery system that can get GPS coordinates of a target location based on the intelligence provided by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle which spots the location of the target easily. The artillery system can be used to eject a projectile and make it fall on the target position. This system has applications like riot control in urban cities. It can also be used by police or military personnel to take control over terrorist infested areas without manually entering into the region of terror. This UAV directed artillery system is a very viable, cost efficient and effective when compared to conventional methods to control riots and counter terrorists. This system enhances peace in cities and ensures safety and security of the people.
