Smart Hybrid Drone with a 5G Base for Land Survey and Surveillance

Abstract: This research paper introduces a novel smart hybrid drone system integrated with a 5G base station to enhance land survey capabilities, real-time data transmission, and surveillance applications. The proposed drone leverages hybrid propulsion technology to optimize flight efficiency and endurance while integrating edge computing and AI-driven analytics for intelligent decision-making. The study evaluates the feasibility, architecture, and potential use cases of the system across various domains, including infrastructure assessment, security surveillance, and geographic mapping. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the hybrid drone system in maintaining high-speed, low-latency communication and efficient power management, making it a viable solution for next-generation autonomous aerial networks.
