This project designs a personal UAV system for defence personnel operating in high-risk environments. Current UAVs face challenges like complexity, maintenance issues, and limited adaptability. Focusing on user-centred design, the project develops a compact, intuitive UAV that enhances situational awareness, supports intelligence gathering, and aids mission-critical tasks while reducing risk. Research through interviews and scenario analysis informed the design, addressing real operational challenges. The UAV integrates stealth, mobility, and responsive functionality, acting as an intelligent tool for field decision-making. The project demonstrates how emerging technologies can be thoughtfully applied to improve efficiency, safety, and effectiveness for personnel in extreme and unpredictable conditions.
