Abstract: A tethering system for a remote-controlled device comprising a tether line having a first end adapted to be connected to a ground support and a second end adapted to be connected to the remote-controlled device. The system further includes an anchor-point disposed between the first and second ends of the tether line, the anchor point having an eyelet for securing the tether line and allowing the tether line to slide through the eyelet during use. The anchor-point and eyelet enable the tether line to flex or bend and the remote-controlled device to maneuver one or more of over or around the target area without interfering with any nearby obstructions.

Abstract: An airborne surveillance platform supporting optoelectronic and electronic sensors, including level sensors, is automatically stabilized in a horizontal plane by varying the length of two tethers out of three. Error signals from the level sensors are transmitted over a wireless link to control components on a rotating platform on the host vehicle, which automatically vary the length of tethers. Applications include images of the surrounding terrain generated by a video camera and a thermal imager in military, police and civil emergency operations.

Abstract: Disclosed is a spacecraft carrying a number of pods, each containing an aircraft that has been folded to fit in the pod. Each aircraft has a vertical stabilizer and outboard wing-portions that fold around fore-and-aft axes. Each aircraft also has a fuselage that folds around a lateral axis. The spacecraft releases one or more of the pods into an atmosphere. Each of the pods is configured with an ablative heat shield and parachutes to protect its aircraft when the pod descends through the atmosphere. The pod releases its aircraft at a desired altitude or location, and the aircraft unfolds while free-falling. The aircraft then acquires and follows a flight path, and activates scientific experiments and instruments that it carries. The aircraft relays results and readings from the experiments and instruments to the spacecraft, which in turn relays the results and readings to a mission command center.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for capturing a flying object (5) are revealed. The apparatus includes a generally linear fixture (2), such as a length of rope; a means for suspending (1) the fixture (2) across the path of the flying object (5); and one or more hooks (19) on the flying object (5). The method involves suspending the fixture (2) such that its orientation includes a component normal to the flying object's line of approach; striking the fixture (2) with the flying object (5), which causes the flying object (5) to rotate and decelerate, while the fixture (2) slides along a surface of the flying object (5) into a hook (19); capturing the fixture (2) in the hook (19); and retrieving the flying object (5) from the fixture (2).

Abstract: A flying platform, propelled by at least one ducted fan causing a vertically downwardly directed airstream in and through a cylindrical duct. A vane system in the duct has two mutually perpendicular pairs of diametrically opposite first vanes, each extending in from the duct rim toward the center of the duct. Each pair of first vanes provides a pair of generally vertical walls parallel to a diametral line across the duct, and they define duct passages between the pairs of vanes and define quadrants between adjacent pairs. Each first vane has an upper, fixed, rigid portion and a variable camber flap depending therefrom. A first servomotor with linkages vary the camber of each pair of flaps, so that the camber of the flaps of each pair is at all times the same amount but in opposite directions. Preferably, there are also four second vanes, one bisecting each quadrant, and a symmetric pair of spoilers is mounted on each second vane. Each pair of spoilers is independently movable, as a pair continuously between a position substantially blocking airflow through the outer portion of said quadrant and a position permitting substantially full airflow therethrough. A second servomotor with linkages symmetrically varies the position of its spoilers. There may be a radio receiver responsive to remote control signals for actuating each servomotor and its linkages.

Abstract: An authorization system includes a controller of an external computing device communicatively connected to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The controller obtains a mission kit that includes software for controlling a piece of equipment configured to be assembled on the UAV. The controller receives a license that is associated with a user and determines, based on the license, whether the piece of equipment is authorized for operation on the UAV as controlled by the user. Responsive to determining that the piece of equipment is authorized, the controller initiates transmission of at least some of the software of the mission kit to the UAV for installation by the UAV to allow the user to operate the piece of equipment.
