I am a UAV Pilot and Drone Systems Researcher engaged in applied R&D at NIELIT Imphal’s Drone Laboratory, operating within the framework of the DGCA Drone Rules (2021) and associated regulatory guidelines.
My work revolves around the engineering, calibration, and operational intelligence of unmanned aerial vehicles — combining mechanical precision with computational logic.
From flight controller configuration to autonomous mission design, I approach each system as a complete ecosystem of hardware, code, and environmental behavior.
- Drone Assembly and Tuning: Practical experience in UAV assembly, system calibration, and flight optimization for multi-rotor platforms.
- Mission Configuration: Design and validation of autonomous missions using Mission Planner for both logistics and reconnaissance applications.
- Hardware Integration: Experience with Pixhawk, Cube Orange, Raspberry Pi, AI HAT, Arduino, GPS RTK, and LiDAR modules for precision navigation and situational awareness.
- Computer Vision & Autonomy: Utilization of Python, OpenCV, and YOLO frameworks to enhance onboard decision-making and object detection capabilities.
- Maintenance and Reliability Engineering: Involvement in preventive maintenance, ESC synchronization, and fail-safe mechanism development for mission-critical operations.
- Autonomous Drone Delivery Systems: Developing a controlled aerial delivery network capable of secure, payload-aware routing for logistics in constrained or inaccessible zones.
- Flood Response and Disaster Management UAVs: Researching coordinated operations between scout and delivery drones for autonomous disaster response, focused on real-time mapping, payload precision, and data-driven deployment strategies.
- AI-Based Flight Intelligence: Experimenting with vision-assisted navigation models for adaptive flight control and aerial object recognition.
All ongoing work adheres strictly to DGCA regulatory standards on UAV operations, safety procedures, and airspace compliance.
My goal is to bridge aeronautical engineering principles with computational intelligence, enabling drones to act with greater autonomy, precision, and reliability in critical field operations.
I see UAVs not merely as devices but as dynamic systems capable of assisting in logistics, disaster relief, and environmental monitoring when designed with purpose and restraint.
“Precision in flight is not achieved by chance — it’s the result of discipline, data, and design.”
