An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or uncrewed aerial vehicle, commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without any human pilot, crew or passengers on board. UAVs are a component of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), which include additionally a ground-based controller and a system of communications with the UAV. What is MARAAL? UAV’s have recently attracted significant amount of attraction due to their wide spread application. Be it reconnaissance , surveillance , mapping or rescue missions , UAV’s are indeed proving to be a versatile and cost-effective solution. This has resulted in a lot of research effort being put into making UAVs more and more robust and increasing their efficiencies in terms of range, power consumption, and endurance etc. The MARAAL is a series of solar powered UAVs that were developed in India by aerospace department of IIT Kanpur. These are multipurpose UAVs, primarily focused on requirements mentioned above. MARAAL-1 UAV MARAAL-1 is the first Indian solar powered UAV…
