Introduction The rapid evolution of modern security threats and asymmetric warfare has significantly increased thedemand for compact, stealth-capable unmanned aerial systems (UAS) (Austin, 2010) and (Gupta,Ghonge, and Jawandhiya, 2013).designed to operate in constrained, high-risk environments.TraditionalUAV platforms(Valavanis and Vachtsevanos,2015),while effective for wide-areasurveillance, often lack the agility, discretion, and operational flexibility required for close-rangeintelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance (ISR) missions in urban, maritime, and indoor–outdoortransitional spaces. In response to these challenges, the Black Hummingbird Mini-Drone has beendeveloped as a next-generation micro-UAV (Beard and McLain, 2012). emphasizing low observability, high maneuverability, and rapid deployment. Its design philosophy prioritizes a reduced visual,acoustic, and radar footprint, allowing the platform to perform covert operations with minimal detectionwhile maintaining stable flight and precise control (Anderson, 2017). The Black Hummingbird Mini-Drone integrates advanced sensor fusion, real-time data transmission, and autonomous navigationcapabilities within a compact aerodynamic structure. Enclosed propulsion units and optimized airflowgeometry contribute to both noise reduction and enhanced safety when operating near personnel orinfrastructure. These features enable the drone to conduct persistent surveillance, target observation,and tactical assessment in environments where conventional UAVs face operational limitations.Furthermore, the modular architecture of the Black Hummingbird Mini-Drone supports flexible missionconfigurations, including payload customization, autonomous waypoint execution, and swarm-enabledcoordination. This adaptability makes the platform suitable for a broad range of applications, includingmilitary reconnaissance, border security, counter-terrorism operations, disaster response, and criticalinfrastructure monitoring. By combining stealth-oriented engineering with intelligent autonomy in aminiaturized platform, the Black Hummingbird Mini-Drone represents a strategic shift toward high-efficiency micro-tactical UAV systems, addressing the growing operational requirements of moderndefense and security frameworks. 1.2.

System Overview The Black Hummingbird Mini-Drone is a compact unmanned aerial vehicle engineered for covertintelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions requiring minimal detectability and highoperational precision. The system is designed around a low-profile, aerodynamically optimized bodythat integrates propulsion, sensing, communication, and control subsystems into a unified and compactarchitecture. Emphasis is placed on stealth performance, manoeuvrability, and rapid deployment incomplex operational environments. 2.2. Structural and Aerodynamic Design The airframe employs a flattened, low-drag geometry inspired by manta-ray–type aerodynamicprinciples, optimizing airflow distribution while minimizing turbulence and acoustic emissions. Thestructural shell is constructed using advanced composite materials, combining lightweight carbon-basedlayers with vibration-dampening internal supports. This configuration enhances flight stability, reducesstructural resonance, and improves resistance to environmental stressors such as wind shear and thermalvariation. 2.3. Propulsion and Mobility System The propulsion system consists of enclosed multi-rotor units, strategically embedded within the drone’sbody to reduce exposed moving components. This configuration significantly lowers acoustic, infrared,and visual signatures, while also improving safety during operations near obstacles or personn
