Abstract
This paper introduces a new unmanned aerial system (UAS) design featuring coaxial rotors and tethered operation with a base station. The coaxial rotor configuration enhances stability and maneuverability, particularly in challenging environments. The tethered connection to a base station ensures prolonged flight duration and enables continuous power and data transmission. Moreover, the UAS incorporates a visual question answering (VQA) based target identification system. This system leverages advanced computer vision algorithms to analyze visual input from onboard cameras, coupled with natural language processing techniques to interpret and respond to queries regarding identified targets. The integration of VQA technology enables critical decision-making decisions through providing crucial information identify about targets in real-time scenarios. The new design has a significant potential for applications in surveillance, reconnaissance, search and rescue, and disaster response, as this design was conceptualized to provide persistent Intelligence, Reconnaissance & Surveillance (ISR) capabilities. Further analysis of the concept design was conducted to investigate the feasibility of novel design characteristics.
