Introduction Our goal is to design a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(UAV) that can successfully complete the field test equipped with a surveillance mechanism that it
can use to capture footage and video.

Objectives The UAV must pass a field test and the requirements include:
UAV must be able to take off and land from tennis court
Flight test should be at least 2 minutes long
UAV must capture video footage from flight to landing

Constraints
The UAV must: Have an operator that uses
great caution to ensure the safety/security of any onlookers
Safe/operable design Weigh a maximum of 450
grams Operate by battery power(Lipo 1000 mAh, 11.1V , 20C
Battery ) Use a suitable RC frequency
(2.4 Ghz)
