Abstract: A shroud for an aircraft having a noise reducing material on or in an inner surface of the shroud adjacent to one or more tips of the propeller. The noise reducing material is preferably an electrospun nanomaterial, particularly a ridged composite acoustic nanofibre. The interior surface of the shroud may be provided with a plurality of sound deflectors configured to dissipate sound by reflection and refraction, and absorb sound into the shroud body. The sound deflectors may be ribs or arrangements of discrete reflector elements.

Abstract: A monitoring system may include a semi-autonomous mobile monitoring device capable of determining whether it has a sufficient power level to perform a monitoring task based on the distance between the position of the mobile monitoring device and a task area corresponding to the monitoring task. Upon determining a sufficient power level to perform the monitoring task, the mobile monitoring device may calculate a path to a task area corresponding to the monitoring task based on map information stored in a memory of the mobile monitoring device. The mobile monitoring system may automatically avoid known obstacles in the monitoring area between the position of the mobile monitoring device and the task area without using a remote control.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to an autonomous emergency system (EMS) for UAVs and UMVs. The autonomy of the emergency system enables the vehicle to self-detect that it is in an emergency state (autonomous detection). When vehicle detects the emergency state the vehicle is configured to implement an improved autonomous emergency system process. The vehicle triggers autonomous state change, and controls its operation (auxiliary, power levels, and so on). The vehicle has beacons to emit pulses over time intervals to communicate with specific vehicles. For example, when known, friendly, other vehicles come into a specific radius, the EMS detects the friendly vehicle(s) and sends safe signals. The EMS implements a pairing communication process based on pre-establish configurations and protocols.
