Design of Hexacopter UAV System for Disinfectant Spraying

Abstract The spread of Covid-19 prevention has been carried out widely for example is the use of technology disinfectants. One of the development technologies at this time are drones. This study aims to design a UAV system as a disinfectant sprayer. Hexacopter is a type of drone that can fly more freely in the air that consists of 4 basic movements as throttle, roll motion, pitch motion, and yaw motion. The design method uses the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The analysis is needed including analysis of hardware and software requirements through a literature study. The design phase is designing concepts from the software. The development phase is to build-up the components into a drone. In the implementation phase by tool testing and an assessment of the implementation will be carried out. This research is an early part of the development of the UAV system. The results that design of UAV system consisting of components used Naza-M V2, a 23-inch propeller mounted on a 180KV Hobbywing X6 motor, ESC 80A, and a 12S 44.2V battery. Based on the results of hexacopter testing that can fly for 6 minutes, the weight is 10kg and works well in spraying disinfectants.
