Abstract

Natural disasters are natural events that cannot be predicted. Each occurrence of natural disasters will cause damage can even eliminate human lives. The success of the recovery process and help victims of natural disasters (disaster recovery) depends on the accuracy of the information condition affected area. Currently has developed several technology tools that can provide information and direct assistance to victims of natural disasters, one of which is the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). UAV is an aircraft type that has the ability to fly without a crew and pilots, process control is done directly by the operator or automatically by the device that has been standardized. So that UAVs can be applied for monitoring and search and rescue operations or special use in the military. Distance is one of the obstacles using UAVs, because when the magnitude of the distance exceeds the ability of the central control system will cause the UAV control process cannot be performed due to the loss of data communications. In this study, will be developed a control system for a UAV which has the capability of data communication up to 2 km. The process of research is concerned with the optimization of the ground control station consisting of the antenna and the transceiver system and the development of the type of UAV that will be used.
