Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats:
The project consist in the design of a drone configured to
support rescue missions along a certain costline. The device
will try to locate the drowning person and then launch a
flotation device in such a way that person receives it.

The project will be divided in the following phases:

- Initial study of requirements
- Indentification of the target drone and additional
requirements
- Data object to models the various parts of a costline, the
meteo conditions, the location of the person, etc.
- Design of the HMI interfaces for the pilot
- Construction of the drone prototype
- Initial flight tests
 
Overview (resum en anglès):
The project is based on creating a first aid tool to perform a coastline rescue with an
unmanned. The System is formed by a ground segment, where the ground station will be
placed and an air segment, where the unmanned vehicle, equipped with all the necessary
extra devices to perform the mission will be found.
For notices of possible drownings, the ground station will receive notifications that users
will publish using a Mobile application. This app will allow users to capture images of
the victim location and push them to the server, which will re-direct the information to the
station covering that location.
The operator will be responsible of starting the mission. This operation will follow a pre-
established route, generated by the processor, according to the requests of the operator.
To generate the mentioned routes, first, will be necessary to create an operating model
suitable for the location of the mission, this model will be defined with an extended markup
language file.
The mission is made up of different stages, similarly to the civil operations. The scan and
launch phase stand out among the all steps. In these both paths the vehicle will scan the
are to find the victim and deploy the floater once the victim is found.
The vehicle control is done via a visual interface and communication with the air segment
will be established by radio. In case of failure, the system will have 4G coverage to continue
the operation.
The unmanned aircraft is in charge of performing the mission (controlled by the operator).
To operate the mission autonomously, the unmanned vehicle is equipped with an autopilot
system, which will perform the flight plans uploaded by the processor. In addition of the
radio communication and the autopilot, the vehicle will be equipped with one floater, which
will be deployed to give support to the victim.
If during the mission, some kind of problem arises, the operator may request an emergency
recovery sequence. Otherwise, in case that everything is working perfectly the platform will
be recovered tracing back its previous steps or in a direct recover if the battery level starts
to be critical.
