This paper presents a novel protective shell system designed to safeguard both the drone and its accompanying sensors. The objective of this project is to develop and test the shell-shaped container to check its capability of securely housing the drone. The system may incorporate a circuit board housing a processor that receives data from sensors and controls the opening and closing motions of the container. By analyzing the sensor information, the system may intelligently respond to adverse weather conditions by automatically closing the container to ensure the drone’s protection. This innovative solution addresses the challenges associated with deploying drones in outdoor environments and offers enhanced safety and durability for extended drone operations.
