Problem statement and objectives
The popularity and usage of compact unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), better known as drones, has been increasing radically over the past few years [1]. For only a rather small amount of money, you can already get yourself a drone with some basic abilities. Besides the consumer usage (e.g. hobbyists), a majority of about 70% of the drone market represented by military purposes, while commercial users form the remaining sector. This latter group contains for instance drones with purposes for 3D mapping, delivery, inspections, data transmissions, and video collection. Although this group represents the least percentage of sales of the aforementioned sectors, the revenue value in 2016 was about 60 percent more than the one following from commercial purchases. This phenomenom is mainly caused by the fact that price tags of about $100,000 are no exception in such industries.
A sector that does not really match the term 'comercially' as it regards the type of institution, but does regarding the production price tag are drones used by governmental bodies. In specific it concerns departments that are of key-importance in emergeny situations, with the three most central ones being respectively the police, firefighting and medical (ambulance) departments. In these departments, try-outs and permanent involvements of drones become more and more part of the job [2]. However, since these drones often include high-advanced technologies, their production costs can rise to serious heights. A proper police drone for example lies in the purchasing range from $50,00 to $200,000 [3].
This project aims to develop a new type of drone, which will be able to carry out tasks for more than one of these departments. Roughly sketched, this will result in a drone with a range of standard functions, on which a specific variation of equipment can be (de)attached. This multifunctional drone will have multiple benefits over the development of drones that are specified per department. The most important one, as already indicated in the foregoing, will be the cost-effectiveness. This would for example be benefitial for regions that might lack budget to invest in innovative technologies such as drones, but still strive to develop the implementation of high-tech equipment in their daily work.

User, Society and Enterprise
Users
The primary users of the emergency drones are the civil servants that work in the fire, police and medical department. To be more specific: within the fire department the drone will be used to assist in extinguishing fires and as a fire-reconnaissance tool, within the police department it will be used for surveillance and as a criminal-reconnaissance tool and finally within the medical department the drone will be used for the transport of goods between hospitals and between hospital and civilian who makes the emergency call.
The secondary users are all civilians. Civilians could be trapped inside a burning building, they could be under surveillance, they could be in a hospital with the need for a certain essential good like blood or they could be in need of an AED to revive someone. In all these cases, civilians are on the receiving end of a emergency drone.
