The fixed wing UAV needs to have an endurance of two hours to effectively find, track and report the poachers' location to the ground rangers. This involves a high spec camera with thermal imaging to find the poachers which would have tripped a ground network. The UAV will have to be launched from a catapult and reach the alarm location in the shortest amount of time and then go into a holding pattern upon target identification. Research into autopilot integration with a onboard processor for autonomous flight. The aircraft needs to be light weight and quiet.
