The development of unmanned small-size double hull blimp for low altitude surveillance system

This paper presents the development of unmanned double hull blimp for low altitude surveillance system. In this proposed design, it offers simpler construction for smaller units however may be difficult to control in turbulences. Studies on the design were employed to find the setup based on the payload limitation based on small-size prototype which to use for the applications; such as communication hub, station keeping and monitoring activities. The experimental results show that the blimp design were able to lift the desired payload and performed the desired navigation..
