Hand grenade capable drone

Project Title

Hand grenade capable drone

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

Security agencies all over the world are advancing with the drones technology that are  being utilized for attack and defence.The drones are altering the infrastructure of operations to exclusively new prospects. The job of hundreds of soldiers has been assigned to deadly drones that is something revolutionary assuredly.

The proposed project aims at inclusion of drones equipped for electronic warfare if necessary, or equip drones with  the grenades.Ideally, the drones would be a bit like Legos:shuffle and match blocks to build the drone that is required for a particular scenario.Once this basic project is successfully completed, we can proceed further as an organization by keeping this as a basis of knowledge.A prototype of hand grenade capable drone is shown in Figure 1.

Use of hand grenade capable techniques will be utilized which will guarantee secure assailment, making this specific task effective and carefully planned.The mission would be secure and it poses a safety hazard for the crew being sent directly to confront the enemy , without facing any undesirable consequences. The risk of crew safety might be improved due to long range assailment. The drone which is capable of carrying hand grenade as a payload would make it convenient for the armed forces to carry out effective reconnaissance and attack missions increasing the safety of the

crew manifolds.

The project will be completed in six phases. The first phase would include to determine the components required for the construction of drone through calculations.The second would be to patch the components of quadcopter along with essential aids like pixhawk, GPS and telemetry. The third phase would involve the CAD modelling of the release mechanism of grenade such as CAD model for clamping the grenade,removing the pin and releasing the striker lever holder. The CAD models need to be upscaled with respect to dimension of the grenade used. The forth phase will be to fabricate and test the CAD models and test is with servomotors.The fifth phase will be to integrate the drone to the proposed mechanism.The last phase will involve is to perform flight tests of the drone attached with release mechanism.

Project Objectives

1. The development of drone that could be equipped with a Hand grenade for strike purposes.
2. The utilization of grenade in which safety lever is secured by a linchpin would be certain.
3. The explosion of hand grenade would be within 4-5 seconds.

The explosion range of the grenade would be 20 meters requiring drone to be disappeared from the damage zone within a matter of seconds.

The project has six objectives. The first objective is to

determine the components required for the construction of drone.

The second is to patch the components of quadcopter along

with essential aids like pixhawk, GPS and telemetry. The third

objective involves the CAD modelling of the release mechanism

of grenade such as CAD model for clamping the grenade,

removing the pin and releasing the striker lever holder. The

CAD models need to be upscaled with respect to dimension

of the grenade used. The forth objective is to fabricate and

test the CAD models and test is with servomotors.The fifth

objective is to integrate the drone to the proposed mechanism.

The last objective is to perform flight tests of the drone attached

with release mechanism that is actual scale prototype.The

main goal would be to make the quadcopter run smoothly and

reach destination so that it overcome the distortions in flight,

which could be made possible by considering the weight of all

components in the whole scenario

Project Implementation Method

Project Approach

The project would be divided into six phases listed below.

•

Analyzing the total weight

•

Selecting the right components for building the drone

•

CAD modelling of hand grenade release mechanism

•

Programming

•

Assembling

•

Testing

Benefits of the Project

The application areas of the project are vast as they maybe modified for several services.The drones were not used for any feasible purpose until recently due

to lack of multi-purpose drones. Existing visual surveillance and assail systems requiring crew may result in failure of mission due to constraints of range and automation. Therefore, the security purposes would become accessible.The Use of hand grenade capable techniques will be utilized which will guarantee secure assailment, making this specific task effective and carefully planned. The mission would be secure and it poses a safety hazard for the crew being sent directly to confront the enemy , without facing any undesirable consequences. The risk of crew safety might be improved due to long range assailment. The drone which is capable of carrying hand grenade as a payload would make it convenient for the security forces to carry out effective reconnaissance and attack missions increasing the safety of the crew manifolds.
