This project details the design and implementation of a hexacopter equipped with GPS, telemetry, a high-resolution camera, and a fire extinguisher ball deployment system, controlled through Mission Planner software. The hexacopter utilizes GPS for accurate navigation and telemetry for real-time data communication. The high-resolution camera provides live video feeds to a laptop, enhancing remote monitoring and situational awareness. The Mission Planner software enables the hexacopter to autonomously follow programmed flight paths and deploy fire extinguisher balls precisely. This integrated system aims to enhance firefighting efficiency by combining autonomous operation with real-time visual feedback and effective fire suppression capabilities. In this project we are using FPV transmitter and FPV receiver for watching live video on our mobile.        

Objectives:

• To design and integrate a hexacopter with GPS, telemetry, and high-resolution cameras.
• To implement autonomous flight operations using Mission Planner software.
• To enable real-time video streaming from all UAVs to a laptop.
• To integrate an autonomous fire extinguisher ball deployment system into the hexacopter.
• To test and validate autonomous navigation, live monitoring, and fire suppression performance.
