Abstract:
We had seen many natural and human-made disasters like Tsunami In Chennai in December 2015 and cyclone storm ‘Hudhud’ in 2014 in North Indian Ocean. Which caused substantial damage to cellular network infrastructure and because of which the affected area gets isolated from the outer world regarding communication. This isolation creates a significant challenge in emergency communications with the people in need. Because in this of type situations where every second counts, rescue teams have to get quickly to the right locations to help people, and in absence of any communication, it becomes impossible. To tackle this problem of emergency communication we need a robust and fast deployable Post Disaster Communications network which can be used during emergency times. So, in this project, we are trying to build an Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) based small system which can be rapidly deployed in Post Disaster scenarios for emergency communications.
