Abstract: A system for detecting and neutralizing a target aerial vehicle (104a, 104b) comprises a counter-attack unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, 102a-c) comprising a flight body (310) and a flight control system (133) supported about the flight body operable to facilitate flight of the UAV, and an aerial vehicle countermeasure (134a, 134b) supported by the flight body. The system can comprise an aerial vehicle detection system (100) comprising at least one detection sensor (106) operable to detect a target aerial vehicle while in¬ flight, and operable to provide command data to the counter-attack UAV to facilitate interception of the target aerial vehicle by the counter-attack UAV. Upon interception of the target aerial vehicle, the counter-attack UAV is operable to disrupt operation of the detected target aerial vehicle with the aerial vehicle capture countermeasure, thereby neutralizing the target aerial vehicle. The counter-attack UAV and systems may be autonomously operated. Associated systems and methods are provided.

Abstract: A system for neutralization of a target aerial vehicle comprises one or more counter-attack unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and an aerial vehicle capture countermeasure tethering the counter- attack UAV(s) to a structure or ground. The counter-attack UAV(s) are operable to capture and neutralize the target aerial vehicle with the aerial vehicle capture countermeasure (e.g., a net). The system comprises an on-board aerial vehicle detection system, and optionally an external aerial vehicle detection system, each detection system having at least one sensor configured to detect the target aerial vehicle in flight. The counter-attack UAV(s) and the associated detection systems may be autonomously operated for detecting and neutralizing a target aerial vehicle. The aerial vehicle capture countermeasure can be moved from a stowed position to a deployed position in response to coordinated flight of the counter-attack UAV(s). Associated methods and systems are provided.

Abstract: A system for neutralizing target aerial vehicles (104a, 104b) comprises a projectile launching mechanism (200a, 200b) that launches a projectile that supports a counter-attack unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, 102a, 102b) having an aerial vehicle countermeasure (134). The counter-attack UAV can be folded in the projectile (201a, 201b), and operable to unfold when separated from the projectile. The system comprises an aerial vehicle detection system (100) comprising a detection sensor (106a) that detects a target aerial vehicle. Upon detection, the projectile launching mechanisms launches the projectile, and the counter-attack UAV is thereafter separated from the projectile to operate in flight to neutralize the detected target aerial vehicle with the aerial vehicle countermeasure. The projectile launching mechanism can comprise a movable platform (203) comprising a plurality of projectiles and counter-attack UAVs, and can comprise a detection sensor to detect target aerial vehicles.

Abstract: A robotic system comprises a first robotic crawler having a mobility mechanism for locomotion, a second robotic crawler having a mobility mechanism for locomotion, and at least one coupling mechanism supported by at least one of the first or second robotic crawlers to couple and uncouple the first and second robotic crawlers to and from each other. When coupled together, the first and second robotic crawlers are operable as a unified robotic crawler system in a coordinated drive mode for operational control of respective mobility mechanisms in a coordinated manner. Various operating modes provide for selective control of various aspects of the first and second robotic crawlers, whether coordinated or independent control. The unified robotic crawler system provides greater or enhanced stability of the first and second robotic crawlers. Associated methods are provided herein.

Abstract: A robotic end-effector to provide conformal object interaction. The end-effector has at least one finger with an inner portion or engaging side and one or more degrees of freedom. A jamming conformal pad is on the inner portion of the at least one finger. The jamming conformal pad has a compliant configuration in which the jamming conformal pad is compliant and configured to distribute across a surface of an object and, if contoured, infiltrate into any variations (e.g., indentations) in the surface, defining a conformal engaging surface configured to match and mate with the surface. The jamming conformal pad has a stiff configuration in which the jamming conformal pad is stiff or relatively stiff as compared to the jamming conformal pad in the compliant configuration, and which substantially maintains a shape of the conformal engaging surface.
