Our Proposed Solution 14
Client's Background
The Canadian Intelligence Agency is an organisation
jointly working with the Canadian government to
support them achieve their goal of absolute security.
International politics has become volatile, so it is high
time they bolster their military strength. Due to this,
the country has been experiencing an arduous climb
in demand for drones that can not only be used for
surveillance and spying, but also for protecting its
borders. If the corporation can successfully provide
the required drones, they can contribute to
tremendous levels of social welfare. Our clients seek
our assistance so they can achieve their goals.

DroneVironment Technologies Introduction| 06


Client's Problems

Canada's security level could


be increased by addressing
and figuring out certain issues
that deserve special
consideration. Even though
drones currently available on
the market do a good job,
there is still much room for
improvement. Despite the high
costs and complexity of the
current drone market, there
are other issues that need
immediate and specialised

attention.

1. Weak artillery: There is much room for improvements in
both the offence and defence of the drones and aid the
Canadian military. Most of the drones in the market have
weak self defence mechanisms. Most of these flying objects
do not have the capability to identify and dodge missiles nor
the correct technology to use a pistol to aim and shoot.

DroneVironment Technologies Design OfIntroduction


The Solution||08

2. Low-flying Elevations: Most
drones in the market are
controlled by radio waves emitted
from the remote control’s antenna
from the ground level. This leads
the drones to have a short-range
of travel horizontally and cannot
go higher in the sky as shown in
the image. There are many
obstacles, such as buildings and
trees, that may hinder the signal
coming from the remote control.

Fig: Low flying drone

3. Low battery life: The issue of


low duration of battery life
imposes a major threat to the
Canadian Government. In any
case, if the drones run out of
charge in the middle of a
mission, sensitive information
might be stolen by the enemies.

Client’s Requirements

Our client requires drones with


features that are incorporated with
the latest cutting edge technology
that we have planned through our
very own research and development
based on their stated requirements.
This would allow them to help their
government have increased military
capabilities. With a budget of 4-6
million dollars, they expect to see

developed consists of
all the features we
have previously
mentioned and
many more modern
technologies as well,
and it is suitable to
meet all the

The Structure

A drone consists of a few essential parts: the frame, motors, propellers,


a battery, a receiver, an electronic speed controller, a camera and a
flight controller. The drone is modular, so the components can be
attached and detached easily. A drone can be controlled using a
remote control. The basic framework is illustrated below:    

Fig. : The Structure of The Drone

DroneVironment Technologies Design Of The Solution | 18


Drone Hardware

The drones will consist of numerous physical components,


some of which include -

The Frame - As shown below,


the drone's frame will be
made of carbon fibre. Carbon
fibre is made of carbon atoms
tightly bonded together in a
long carbon chain. As a result,
these fibres are extremely
stiff, light and robust, making
them excellent building
materials and ideal for the
drone's frame. Carbon fibre
has a strength to weight ratio
much higher than steel or
plastic, so it is as strong as
steel but as light as plastic.
Carbon fibre will make the
drones lightweight and rapid.

drones will come with 40-millimetre mini

when the drones are being sent into
dangerous territory. The missiles can be
used to attack enemy drones or other
machines and can even self-destruct the
drones in case of emergency. The missiles
can be guided or unguided and are easily
controllable using the remote control.
When unguided, the missiles can use the
drone's IR Sensors to avoid hurting vital
body parts of the enemies.

Data & Communication

Geostationary Satellites 27
Virtual Private Network (VPN) 28
Geostationary Satellites
2

We have worked together with NASA and SpaceX to equip our drones with the
most advanced technology ever found in a drone - communication with
geostationary satellites. The drone and the remote control will communicate
directly via the nearest satellite, thus eliminating the problem of trees, buildings
and other obstacles interfering with the signal from the remote control. Below is
a simple diagram illustrating how the drones will communicate with the remote
control with the help of satellites.

The drones can also now be


controlled from anywhere in the
world. The radio wave signals
from the remote control will be
passed on from one satellite to
another until it reaches the
satellite closest to the drone,
which will then relay the signal to
the drone.

Fig. : Satellite Communication

DroneVironment Technologies Data & Communication | 27


Virtual Private Network (VPN)

An encrypted Virtual
Private Network (VPN)
will be provided. This
will prevent third parties
from accessing the
drones' network and
hacking the drones.

The VPN can also be used to store


confidential information such as the
location of the CIA's Headquarters, the
route the drones will take, the locations of
the drones, etc.
