3. Content of Presentation
 Definition of MAV
 MAV mission
 Types of MAV and their mission
 Characteristics of MAV
 Application Areas
 Requirement
 Conclusion

4. Definition of MAV
 Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) is defined here as a
small, portable flying vehicle which is designed for
performing useful work. Or
 MAV is a very small airborne autonomous vehicle that
can operate inside a building using primarily
visual and other sensory information
to navigate

5. MAV Mission
 Micro Air Vehicles is capable of a wide range of useful military
missions and among them are;
 Surveillance missions (over the hill)
 Infrared images of battlefields and urban areas (around the
corner)
 Hostage rescue
 Mine detection in war zone
 Damage assessment in war zones
 Proximal reconnaissance
 indoors or outdoors
 Targeting
 Bio-Chemical Sensing
 Anti-Terrorism Action

6. MAV MISSION

7. TYPES OF MAV & THEIR
MISSION
 Fixed wing MAV for long endurance outdoors missions
 Ornithopter MAVs for long endurance outdoors missions
 Rotary MAVs for short endurance outdoor missions with hover
 Entomopter MAVs for indoors missions

8. CHARACTERISTICS OF MAV
 No dimension exceeds 6 in (15 cm)
 Gross takeoff weight 100 grams
 Loiter time of 60 minutes
 Speed 35-75 kmph
 Payload capacity of at least 20 grams
 Ultra low noise
 Vision based obstacle
avoidance Micro
 Range 10 km

10. MAV Application Area &
Riot Control
Requirement
 observe the behaviour of the civilians
 observe the suspect facilities
 The long range of operation is required as well as the ability to fly
against strong opposing winds

11. MAV Application Area & Requirement
Inspection of Industrial emission into the atmosphere
 Capability to take sample of industrial emissions released to the
atmosphere
 Inspectors only need to stop relatively close to the site and take
the sample as fast as possible
 An ability to negotiate fast winds would be required
 An ability to take off vertically would be advantageous

12. MAV Application Area &
Requirement
Search for survivors
 Capable of finding survivors in cases of disasters
 MAV could be used to penetrate the rubble to locate
lives in such issues.
 Ability for manoeuvrability will required
(Entomopter MAVs )

13. MAV Application Area &
Requirement
Power-line inspection
 There is a need to inspect various types of pipelines
 This task can be assigned to different types of robots
 MAVs will be able to perform such mission without minimal
preparation even in complicated installations
 high manoeuvrability would be necessary
 as well as good flight efficiency

14. MAV Application Area &
Requirement
Border surveillance
 To patrol borders as means of preventing illegal immigrants
and smugglers
 More economical than to build a whole wall across the border
 The long range of operation is required as well as the ability to
fly against strong opposing winds

15. conclusion
 Even though we have been able to achieve our target.
 Nevertheless, there are still more room for further
research in this area since we believe there are more
areas we may have not taught off.
Thank s for your
