- INTRODUCTION
On multiple occasions, it is useful geolocate people or objects, and
transmit this (and additional) data in real time.
This information is dealt with specialized software (statistical, mapping
areas, etc.) and / or systems present in 2D / 3D for different
applications.
Normally these missions are critical; the most important point is to
catalog the “emitting points” properly and as quickly as possible.

3. SMART GEOLOCATION DRONES
- INTRODUCTION
To make this possible, these “emitting points” could emit signals of any type
technologically identifiable as:
 radio signals,
 radio frequency,
 microwave,
 optics,
 sound (ultrasound included),
 movement (PIR),
 pollution,
 etc.
They could even use specific sensors (radiation, light, smell, temperature...).

4. SMART GEOLOCATION DRONES
- INTRODUCTION
Parallel to the detection of these “emitting points”, usually we want to have detail of
each one, for take optimal actions in each situation.
It would be ideal, if those “emitting points” have their own geolocation points systems,
but you cannot ask for this nowadays.
So this will be one of the main functions is assigned to GeoLocator Drone.

5. SMART GEOLOCATION DRONES
- PROPOSED SOLUTION
Based on the use of one or more drones, there will be a “Main Drone”.
This drone performs analysis and signal detection as quickly as possible, for
a given area and specific criteria (frequency, height, speed, etc.).
One is perfect, more is better
If there is a lonely drone available in the area, you can choose the option
that makes the fast sweep looking for “emitting points”, saving the
different geo-locations; to further analyze them one by one.

6. SMART GEOLOCATION DRONES
- PROPOSED SOLUTION
If there are more drones, at least one of them will be the "Helper Drone".
 They will be those who will go to the emitting points, according to the instructions given by
the “Main Drone” to collect all possible information (checking or improving the
geolocation and margin error estimated), taking:
 Pictures
 Video
 Audio recording
 Others
and relay this data in real time to an information center or to other drone.
 They can spend all the time necessary for each “emitting point”.
 Even carry any assistance (water, food, light flashlight, walkie-talkie, batteries, etc.).

7. SMART GEOLOCATION DRONES
- PROPOSED SOLUTION
The features and benefits of each type of drone could be different, depending on the operational
needs (high speed vs stability to remain in a given position, different heights and load ratings, etc.)
The Geolocator Drones will analyze more common signals:
 RFID,
 Bluetooth,
 WiFi,
 Sound (ultrasonic included),
 Light source,
 Temperature
 Barometric pressure…
That determine the accuracy of geolocation. They will have a high precision GPS (with chip GNSS
or better and Glonass y Galileo satellites, about 2 meters).
Nevertheless, the final accuracy depends on the type of signal emitted by the “emitting point”
transmitter (if using WiFi may be detected at 100m, Bluetooth will be used with 10m error, etc.),
the number of iterations to perform, height, etc.

8. SMART GEOLOCATION DRONES
- PROPOSED SOLUTION
The drone can be programmed in flight to conduct regular sweeps over a given area;
or to analyze diverse areas and subsequently, specialized third-party software, could
be used to compose complete maps.
As far as possible, drone will support communications services, such as WiFi repeater,
internet (xDSL or other) in order to facilitate the work of specialized staff assistance
in areas which do not have these options.
