Design and Development of Fire Fighting Hexacopter Drone

This paper aims to develop a hexacopter which is designed to carry dry CO2 balls to extinguish fire without risking lives of firefighters with the help of remote-control system. The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) market is exploded in recent years. The UAV are widely utilized for civil, military, and commercial applications because of ease of deployment, hovering capability, and excellent mobility. UAVs can easily reach heights that are risky and tough for firefighters. This study provides a simple solution of a remote-controlled aerial vehicle which can extinguish the fire. Furthermore, we propose a framework for constructing a drone that is equipped with easily-obtainable components with proper dropping, can be remotely operated and deliver lightweight items to several destinations in one trip. This framework can be applied to emergency scenarios, such as fire-fighting, or to other remote areas, providing an affordable long-term solution with easy component replacement.
