TECHNICAL APPROACH 3 @SIH Idea submission- Template FREAKZZ Framework & Hardware: * Frameworks: ROS,PX4 Autopilot,Tensorflow . * GPS Module : Essential for navigation and location tracking. Modules like u- blox or DJI’s GPS units are common Methodology and Implementation Process: Requirement Analysis: Identifying all functional and non-functional requirements, including regulations, environmental conditions, and customer needs. Hardware Architecture: Chooseing appropriate drones, sensors, communication modules, and power systems. Network Design: Planning the communication network, considering data transmission methods (e.g., RF, Wi-Fi, 4G/5G), and cloud integration for monitoring and analytics. Hardware Prototyping: Assembling the drone with selected components. Ensure the frame, motors, sensors, and other hardware components are properly integrated. Initial Field Tests: Conducting controlled tests in a safe environment to evaluate the drone's performance in real-world conditions.
FEASIBILITY AND VIABILITY 4 @SIH Idea submission- Template FREAKZZ FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS: - Delivery Speed : Drones have the potential to deliver goods faster than traditional ground-based delivery methods, especially in urban environments where traffic congestion is a problem. - Reduced Human Risk : By using drones, tasks that are dangerous for humans—such as inspecting tall structures, firefighting, or disaster recovery—can be performed with reduced risk. Economic Feasibility : As drone technology matures, costs are decreasing, making drones more accessible to businesses and governments POTENTIAL CHALLENGES AND RISKS: - Battery Life and Range : Drones often have limited battery life, which constrains their operational range and duration. Airspace Management : Integrating drones into existing airspace, especially in urban areas, without causing conflicts with manned aircraft is a major regulatory issue. Cybersecurity Risks : Drones rely on GPS, communications systems, and software, making them vulnerable to hacking or signal interference. STRATEGIES FOR OVERCOMING CHALLENGES: Cost Management: Seek grants, partnerships, and crowdfunding to cover costs. Anti-Drone Technologies : Governments and private companies can invest in anti-drone technologies - Technical Collaboration: Investing in AI and machine learning for autonomous navigation will enable drones to better avoid obstacles and navigate complex environments.
IMPACT AND BENEFITS Potential Impact on Target Audience: Cost Savings : Faster and safer drones can significantly reduce operational costs in various industries, such as logistics , etc.. Job Creation : While drones may replace some traditional jobs, they will also create new roles in areas like drone operation, data analysis, maintenance, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance. Benefits: Operational Efficiency Cost Savings Safety and Risk Reduction Environmental Sustainability 5 @SIH Idea submission- Template FREAKZZ
