Abstract
The goal of this work is to develop a system for monitoring forest fires in real time using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). This study proposes a quadcopter-based forest fire monitoring system based on radio control from a ground station using a geolocation system. This approach ensures the effective use of UAVs both in automatic and manual modes with the help of onboard navigation equipment and controls. The hardware system is built using the ArduPilot controller and various sensors such as GPS, gyro compass, temperature sensor, distance sensor and digital cameras. Flight tests were carried out to assess the accuracy of the positioning system. The results show that the use of UAVs is an effective way to deal with a fire situation in addition to existing methods and technologies for solving operational problems of fire detection.
