Abstract:
There is disclosed a deployable surveillance, security and/or enforcement unit, comprising: a container configured for deployment from a vehicle or by air at a surveillance, security and/or enforcement location; and two or more removable modules having equipment for performing surveillance, security and/or enforcement operations, wherein the container has a housing with at least one opening for receiving the two or more modules into the container. The unit may be comprised as part of a vehicle. The advantage of this arrangement is that it is flexible and can be deployed to meet temporary requirements, changing requirements, and can be easily equipped to meet differing roles. The deployable surveillance, security and/or enforcement unit may comprise removable modules including: a command module; a reconnaissance module; a sampling and diagnostic laboratory module; a decontamination module; and/or a utilities module.
Abstract:
An automated drone security system for surveilling a location includes one or more drones with onboard sensors and an imaging device for measuring surveillance data. The surveillance data may include images, telemetry data, infrared data, or other detectable information of the location. Drones may be capable of executing one or multiple flight operations as well as storing and transmitting the surveillance data to a server assembly operable for coordinating the drone and receiving the surveillance data. A drone dock may be included for drone launching, landing, and/or storing the drones. A user computing device may be in communication with the server assembly and the drone(s), the user computing device being capable of receiving user input and displaying surveillance data from the drone. Flight operations associated with surveilling the location may be automatically and/or manually controlled by the user computing device and/or or the server assembly in connection with the location.
Abstract:
Provided herein are systems and method for autonomously or semi-autonomously landing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on a landing pad. The landing pad can include features configured to correct misalignment of the UAV on the landing pad. The landing pad can additionally include one or more markers than can be identified by the UAV to aid the UAV in locating the landing pad and determining the location of the UAV relative to the landing pad.
Abstract:
L'invention porte sur un dispositif (1) d'aide à l'atterrissage d'un drone (100) sur une plateforme (2), dispositif (1) comportant une paire de mats (3a,3b) parallèles entre eux et articulés en site au niveau de premières extrémités relativement à la plateforme (2), les secondes extrémités des mats étant reliées entre elles par au moins un brin (5a, 5b) de câble (5) destiné à l'accrochage du drone (100), dispositif caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte au moins une paire de palets (9a,9b) portés par le ou les brins (5a, 5b) de câble (5) et pouvant être entraînés par un moyen de déplacement (6) d'une première position où chaque palet (9a,9b) est voisin de la seconde extrémité d'un mat (3a,3b) vers une seconde position où les palets (9a,9b) sont voisins l'un de l'autre et positionnés sensiblement à mi-distance des secondes extrémités des mats (3a,3b).
Abstract:
Capture devices for unmanned aerial vehicles, including track borne capture lines, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. A representative system includes at least one support having an upright portion and at least one boom portion, a carriage track carried by the at least one boom portion, and a carriage carried by, and movable along, the carriage track. The system can further include a capture line carried by and extending downwardly from the at least one boom portion, or the carriage, or both the at least one boom portion and the carriage.
