This paper describes the technical and legal sides of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and its operations for emergency medical situations like accidents, emergency hospitalization etc. in India. It highlights the details about mode of operations like flight aerodynamics, types of payloads, aircraft launching and landing system, payload dropping mechanisms, powerplant selection, etc. In 2018, The Director General of Civil Aviation of Government of India announces new policies for Remotely Piloted Unmanned Systems. According to these policies, designing and operating the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in Indian air space becomes somewhat easier than before. Although, these regulations cannot give complete freedom of what designer and operator wants in their Unmanned Aerial Systems but, it helps to design the Unmanned Aerial System with systematic approach from the foundation stage. India is the 2nd most populated country in the world with poor health sector. Because of this high densely population, it is difficult to treat every needful person. Many accident cases are registered daily in India and maximum of them lost their lives just because of lack of treatment at early stages. Even ambulance takes 20 to 40 minutes of time to reach at accidental place by road (In rural area that too is not possible). If we can be able to provide the necessary treatments like first aid treatment, medicines, living organs, blood etc. by Aerial route (within 5-7 minutes) then it is possible to save the life of many peoples across the country. This project is trying to mention the details about unmanned aerial system which can solve this problem and help provide the treatment in medical emergencies.

Keywords- Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, Unmanned Aerial System, Medical emergency, DGCA, RPAS.
