MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521113206 A) filed by Sunil Shinde; Sohaam Suhas Thakur; Yuvraj R Ratnaparkhi; and Tejas Warbhe, Pune, Maharashtra, on Nov. 18, 2025, for 'autonomous fixed-wing uav system with unified command, control, and telemetry over a single radio link for disaster management.'
Inventor(s) include Sunil Shinde; Sohaam Suhas Thakur; Yuvraj R Ratnaparkhi; and Tejas Warbhe.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention discloses a system and method for long-endurance autonomous aerial surveillance and rapid first-aid delivery. A fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), optimized for long-endurance flight ( approx. 1 hour) using a high-lift airfoil ( S1223RTL ) and a Li-ion battery, is deployed. The system uses a cost-effective autonomous flight controller to execute pre-programmed, GPS-guided surveillance missions. An operator at a ground station monitors a real-time video feed. Upon identifying a victim, the operator can send a manual command to a fully integrated, servo-actuated payload drop mechanism to release a first-aid kit. This system and method provide a rapid, low-cost, and efficient solution for search and rescue operations by enabling a single platform to both locate victims over a large area and provide immediate aid."
