Therefore, this study was aimed to develop a low-cost UAV, that cost lower than commercial UAV such as Raven (USD 173K) and Shadow 200 (USD 750K), able to fly for long distance and time. The development of this UAV also takes into account the ease of maintenance and cost for repair work. The material for body and wing are from Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) with a tensile strength of 88 psi. The tail was fabricated using plywood to provide stability to the UAV.

With the permission permitted by the Royal Malaysian Air Force which is within 45 minutes, the UAV can fly at a height of 1.5 km and the flight is 26 km. Due to low-cost EPS material, any injuries to the body and wings can be fixed easily with low maintenance cost. The developed UAV successfully demonstrated its capability to collect images under the different disaster conditions tested. In conclusion, this research successfully developed a low-cost UAV, capable of flying long distances, for an extended period and collect images under different disaster conditions. It is anticipated that the developed UAV could not only be used for disaster management but also used for a variety of public uses such as mapping, monitoring of criminal activities, environment monitoring, borders control and so forth.
