Detection of Gas Clouds with Cellular Sensor Network and Drone Based Deployment System

Abstract

Within this document the studies, methods and research results for using multi rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with deployable sensor probes to detect hazardous gases (HGs) are discussed. The studies shows the effects of propeller downwash, the prototype implementation used to read sensor information, the mechanism used to deploy the sensor to a specific target location and how the processed sensor information is send in realtime to ground control.
