Abstract:
    An autonomous swarm of UAVs would be developed for surveillance related tasks for both military and commercial use. Real-time flight and video information would be received at the ground station.
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ?
    As surveillance 24/7 is a difficult job and contains chances of error in case of any negligence. This technology will guarantee efficient continuous video surveillance, with fully scripted missions, reducing manpower and resources used.
Who needs it ? How many would benefit ?
   From a commercial perspective, this project can be used for recreation purposes, photography, videography, security, product deliveries, crisis management, land survey, and topography mapping, etc. In the military, it can be used for reconnaissance, perimeter surveillance, electronic warfare, etc.
How will the solution works
    Four quadcopters would be assembled and controlled via telemetry from a ground station. Cameras transmitting live video would communicate over a separate channel. These quadcopters would autonomously fly to preplanned waypoints and real-time flight information would be available at the ground station. The flight controller would implement suitable swarming algorithms for the desired task. Such as scheduled formation flight plans for border surveillance with landing points for recharging.
Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different
    Existing video surveillance systems commonly utilize a singular Remotely Piloted Aircraft unit deeming it ineffective and risk-worthy in case it’s compromised. In this project, we will utilize optimal automation and swarming techniques for Real-Time Flight surveillance, and drone deployment.
