Abstract: A modular unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system comprises a body module, a rotor module, and a wing module. The body module includes a flight controller and a power distribution device. The body module is releasably attachable to the rotor module or the wing module, and the body module is releasably attachable to the rotor module. The rotor module includes one or more motors and electronic speed controllers (ESCs), while the wing module includes a wing having a flap, elevator, aileron, or rudder. Various UAV configurations can be formed from the body module, the rotor module, and the wing module. Each configuration includes different advantages for flight time, distance, battery life, and payload capacity. A UAV can be configured to a particular configuration to optimize parcel delivery.

Abstract: A processor-implemented method includes receiving, at a processor, from a transceiver and without human intervention, location data associated with a target. The processor receives, from the transceiver, product data for a resupply request referencing the target, the product data including at least one of a product type or a product quantity. The processor generates, without human intervention, unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV) mission data based on the location data and the product data, the UAV mission data including a representation of at least one UAV and flight path data for the at least one UAV. The UAV mission data is caused to transmit to at least one UAV controller to cause the at least one UAV controller to initiate navigation of the at least one UAV according to the UAV mission data.

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Antrieb von schwebenden Geräten und schwebenden Teilsystemen von Geräten in der Land- und Forstwirtschaft mit der konstruktionsbedingten Fähigkeit zum Schweben auf der Stelle, insbesondere auch zur Ausbringung von Stoffen und Stoffgemischen, mit einem oder mehreren Strömungserzeugern zur Erzeugung von Luftströmungen oder Strömungen anderer Gase oder Gasgemische, die das Gerät oder Teilsystem des Gerätes vorrangig durch den erzeugten Vertikalschub im Schweben halten und Kräfte zum Vortrieb und/ oder zur Änderung der Bewegung erzeugen. Erfindungsgemäß werden Strömungen oder Teilströmungen mit einer Neigung der Mittelachse der jeweiligen Strömung oder Teilströmung von mindestens 10° und maximal 90° gegenüber der Normalen auf die horizontale Ebene des Gerätes oder Teilsystems erzeugt, wobei wechselnde Strömungsgeschwindigkeit und/oder Strömungsrichtung der Strömungen und/oder Teilströmungen Schub erzeugt wird, der zumindest eine Komponente in der horizontalen Ebene des Gerätes oder Teilsystems hat und zum Vortrieb und/oder der Änderung der Geschwindigkeit des Geräts oder Teilsystems und/oder Kompensation von Störungen in dieser Ebene, bei Beibehaltung oder der Möglichkeit zur Beibehaltung einer horizontalen oder konstant geneigten Lage des schwebenden Gerätes oder Teilsystems, genutzt wird.
