MUMBAI, India, Nov. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641124783 A) filed by Francis Xavier Engineering College on October 19, 2026, for Drone Integrated Gas Detection System.
Inventors include Mr. Muthu Ram Sivas R; Mr. Siva Shanmugam B; Mr. Esakki Raja D; Mr. Ahmad Maajid U; Mr. Petchimuthu A; Mr. Pradeep Kumar P; Dr. S. David Blessley; Mr. S. M. Sunderrajan; and Dr. J. Jeremy Jeba Samuel.
The application for the patent was published on October 30, 2026, under issue no. 44/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a drone-integrated gas detection system (100) comprising an un-manned aerial vehicle (101), a gas-sensing assembly (102), a processing unit (103), a positioning module (104), a communication module (105), a data storage unit (106), a remote monitoring sta-tion (107), and a power supply unit (108). The gas-sensing assembly detects at least one target gas in the surrounding atmosphere during aerial movement. The processing unit processes the resulting measurement signals, evaluates the measurements against predetermined concentration thresholds, and associates accepted readings with available position and time information. The communication module transmits measurement data and warning information to the remote monitoring station for review. The data storage unit retains selected measurement records for subsequent analysis and may support data recovery following communication interruptions. The system facilitates aerial gas monitoring in industrial facilities, pipeline corridors, storage locations, and environmental inspec-tion areas, thereby supporting the identification of locations requiring further assessment.
