This research shall focus on the intensification of pre-existing manual drones equipping them with a variety of sensors making them autonomous, and capable, and proposing them for a variety of roles including thermal sensing, data collection, tracking creatures, forest fires, volcano detection, hydrothermal studies, urban heat, island measurement, and other environmental research. The system can function for reconnaissance, research, 3D mapping, and search and rescue missions. This study mainly focuses on automating tedious tasks and reducing human errors as much as possible by reducing deployment time and increasing the overall efficiency, efficacy, and reliability of the UAVs. Creation of a comprehensive Ground Control System UI (GCS) enabling less trained professionals to use the UAV with maximum potency. With the inclusion of such an autonomous system, artificially intelligent paths and environmental gusts can be avoided. The research paper aims to tackle and implement the above-mentioned goals.
