FASST
•
The frequency of Futaba 2.4GHz Futaba Advanced Spread Spectrum Technology
(FASST) shifts hundreds of times per second, so there are no signal conflicts or
interruptions and no need for a frequency pin.
•
4GHz FASST scans incoming data and applies sophisticated error correction techniques
resulting in a system that gives you a solid, impenetrable connection with your model.
•
FASST systems seamlessly select the best reception between two receiver antennas, so
there is no loss of signal. If the receiver notices a problem with the data coming into one
antenna, it rapidly switches to the other, looking for the sharpest signal.

• RECON specification:
The flying time of the drone is 18.3 minutes without loading any
additional weight. The take-off load, which is the additional
weight that drone can load, is 2.8 Kg. The Range of our controller
is 2.6 miles (4.3KM) on a stock Futaba FASST 2.4GHz R/C control
system.

Evaluation
Why to choose Radio frequency technology?
•
•
•
•
It's important for our drone to have the capability to be control from anyplace to anywhere
since RF has the ability to appear to flow through paths that contain insulating material which
help us to has a smaller amount of connection problems.
RF is fast since it travels at the speed of light in a vacuum.
RF has higher transmission range and better indoor performance.
Better price it is essentially important to concentrate on this side because that means the
ability to achieve broadly range for the RECON . Also, since the government has a control
over the Radio Wave it will not cost them too much to establish a frequency for the drone to
use.
The Range of our controller is 2.6 miles (4.3KM)

THE GOLDEN NEWS
www.goldennews.com
THE WORLD’S FAVOURITE NEWSPAPER
- Since 1879
RECON Project Wins The GLOBE Award of this yea
RECON is an unmanned
aerial vehicle (UAV); it is
automated to monitor,
analyze, and intervene in
roads and highways. RECON
could inspect bridges, roads,
residential areas, etc. It could
also monitor areas that are
unreachable by a human. Its
capabilities include analyzing
traffic, accidents, and traffic
violations - to name a few.
The RECON is prepared to
intervene by communicating,
delivering, and assisting
according to its capabilities.
Currently this drone has
achieved stable untethered
flight as well as autonomous
altitude hold.
Timely information about
highway traffic circumstances
is very important for the drivers
and transportation control
office, such as, the
Ministry of Interior (MoI) in
Kuwait. Roadway networks
span large distances and can
be difficult to monitor and
control. Therefore, MoI has
been interested for the past
several years in obtaining data
on traffic trends and to monitor
and control traffic in real-time.
UAVs may provide a “bird’s eye
view” for traffic surveillance,
road conditions and emergency
response. Also, the
Ministry of Interior in Kuwait
wanted some help doing44things
like finding missing people

Technical Quantities
Camera: GoPro Hero3 supports up to a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels at a 16:9
aspect ratio. This resolution is sometimes referred to as Quad HD because it offers four
times the resolution of a 1.280 x 723 HD display.
Heat Dissipation: During the tests, the system maintains a temperature between 20
Celsius (C) to 27 C while it can work in the environment that its temperature is up to 85
C before it shut down automatically.
