Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a trailer for an autonomous vehicle controlled by a command and control interface. The trailer includes a trailer body configured to retain the autonomous vehicle in an undeployed configuration. The trailer also anchors the autonomous vehicle in a deployed configuration. A tether is provided having a first end coupled to the trailer body and a second end that is configured to couple to the autonomous vehicle. A winch is utilized to adjust a length of the tether to move the autonomous vehicle between the undeployed configuration and deployed configuration. Further, a communication system communicates with the command and control interface and the autonomous vehicle to control movement of the autonomous vehicle between the undeployed configuration and deployed configuration.

Abstract: An intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance system and associated operating method is disclosed including a ground station and one or more autonomous aerial vehicles. Each automomous vehicle is adapted to a) self-monitor a plurality of environment data; b) calculate, based at least in part upon the environment data, a soft wall radius from which it can return to the command and control interface station; c) receive a destination position to which it is commanded to fly; d) determine if the destination position is beyond the soft wall radius; and e) communicate an alert to the command and control interface station if the destination position is beyond the soft wall radius.
