Introduction
Brief description :

Air surveillance system is a GPS Controlled based systems that employs a Wireless plane on which a wireless camera, Fixed Digital Camera and a GPS system are attached.

• The GPS system is used to locate the plane at any given time transmitting back its location, velocity and height.
• Using the GPS message the plane could be controlled and directed to any other location using a pre designed radar system, and an  interface card that would switch the plane control mode from the manual mode into the electronic one.
• The wireless camera sends a live video image of the location being surveyed these images are computer processed to include the coordinates of the corresponding location.
• The fixed camera are given instructions from the base station to shoot the desired locations , By the time the plane lands the photos stored on the fixed digital camera could be extracted and processed giving a high resolution images.

How The system Works :

• The GPS system includes:

1. a GPS receiver with serial port compatibility.

2. a RF module Transmitter that will send the GPS message to the base station.

• The base Station includes:

1. a  RF receiver to  catch the GPS message and pass it to the base Computer Station.

2. an interface card that switch the Airplane control into the electronic mode.

3. A PC with the necessary software to perform and guide the whole operation.

• The software includes :

1. A method to control and guide the Airplane sending its instruction to the interface card .

2. another method to receive the video image and process it to include the GPS coordinates of the specific location.

3. a method to receive all the data from the Airplane RF module and process it.

4. a mapping system that will facilitate the control of the plane .
