The technology of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) like a Quadcopter has been introduced over the
years. It is able to fly and Landing without human support. Quadcopters take off was done by using four
motors. With many Improvements in terms of the electric motor and the battery life, it can be implemented
so the Quadcopter can fly further high. It is controlled by pilot on ground or simultaneously driven.
A quadcopter, also called a rotorcrafts because unlike a fixed wing aircraft, here lift is generated by a set of
revolving narrow chord aero foils.
This project is concerned with design and realization of moving platform associated with necessary
hardware and software requirements for navigation and autonomous control. In addition the aircraft
platform has a set of basic functions ready to be easily used and extended by any customer. This project has
the some following specifications:

Real time processing of aircraft

communication.
Support many flight modes.
Use failsafe has given our Quadcopter
more protection and safety while
flying on air.

Navigational capabilities for tracking

and positioning.
Stability flying.
High Definition record Video
Streaming 1080p.
