ABSTRACT

UACV (Unmanned Air Cushion Vehicle) is an amphibious vehicle that moves just above the ground or water by air cushion. UACV can travel on almost every surface: ground, water surface, mud, sands, grits, weeds etc. The performance is very favorable in the first-aid transportation in a disaster. An UACV is a very versatile vehicle and we could say that it is the land based equivalent to the

helicopter. The UACV is supported by low speed but high air pressure that is ejected against the ground surface, the low speed but high pressure air is produce by a brushless DC motor that compresses the air from outside into the flexible skirts and become an air cushion. The forward thrust function is depending on the DC motor at the rear. The objective of the project is to develop a vehicle that can move forward, turn left or right on multiple type of surface. The project is also equipped with a camera which transmits the live video to the base station. The overall controlling of the project is GSM based so it can be controlled from any part of the county. It is also equipped with GPS, base station can see the current position of the UACV and can maintain the record of the path traveled.

WORKING


UACV is an amphibious means of transportation. A fan mounted on the motor creates a massive down-draft of air that pushes the UACV upward. A cushion of air is trapped underneath the craft by flexible rubber. Small secondary fan mounted on top creates a backward force that pushes the UACV forward. Rudders behind the fan swivels this backward draft of air from side to side to provide steering. UACV is remotely operated from a different location. UACV is operated by a user through computers keyboard. Communication between the UACV and the operated sitting at the base station is done using GSM.The operator is also receiving live video and audio. The operator can see the situation and can act accordingly. The location of the vehicle can be seen on Google earth. First test run
