There is an overall lack of multipurpose aerial drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), around the world; and until recently, there was a lack of any feasible purposes for drones outside of military applications and those available in market has a very high cost associated with it. Drone technology has advanced to the point in which portable devices are now economically priced enough for civilians to afford as well as easy enough to use with little to no training; however, the main draw back with drones even today is the lack of flexibility n purposes. Most civilian drones are marketed for surveillance purposes only, making the purchaser the one responsible for the labor and economics of any type of design changes to allow for different or more functions. The problem then evolves itself to how to make an economical UAV that can be used for more than one purpose.

This paper looks into conceptualization, implementation and validation of the potential role that hybrid quad tilt rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) may undertake in the near future, especially so in military applications. A tilt rotor is designed, built and analyzed with wind tunnel data, theoretical calculations and flight log data. In addition, the paper will discuss the flight mechanics involved during its transition from hover to forward flight. As the tandem wing tilt rotor encompasses two unconventional designs, numerous mathematical models were developed in the design of the UAV.

The applications of unmanned aerial vehicles have been extended through the recent decades and they are utilized for both civil and military applications. The urge to utilize unmanned aerial vehicles for civil purposes has elevated researchers and industries interest towards the mini unmanned aerial vehicle (MUAV) category due to its suitable configurations and capabilities for multidisciplinary civil purposes. This study is an effort to further enhance the aerodynamic efficiency of MUAVs through a parametric study of the wing and proposing an innovative bioinspired wing design. The research is conducted utilizing numerical simulation and experimental validation. This research provides a better understanding of different wing parameter(s) effect on the aerodynamic performance of the wing and mini unmanned aerial vehicles. A new wing configuration is designed, implemented and evaluated. The wing is named as Alpine since it is inspired by biomimicry of alpine swift bird. Evaluation of the new wing geometry shows that the Alpine wing geometry performs 35.9% more efficient compared to an existing wing with similar wing area. Hence, the aerodynamic efficiency optimization is achieved for the Alpine wing which helps to enhance the performance of MUAVs.

Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles are one of the most important applications in modern technology. Otherwise known drones, these vehicles perform a lot of vital missions and sensitive tasks in scientific discoveries and agricultural and military applications. Drones that are in a network possess the freedom to roam in various directions. The security system of drones plays an important role in performing services. In this paper, a hybrid security system is proposed for drones to protect their data. This detection system is designed to protect autonomous drones from any attack. The proposed approach is implemented in a highway environment scenario. Our experimental results for the security system demonstrate that the proposed approach possesses an outstandingly accurate rate for intrusion detection.
