Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to an unmanned vehicle for use with a companion unmanned vehicle. The unmanned vehicle can include a satellite navigation unit that is configured to receive a satellite signal indicative of a current position of the unmanned vehicle. The unmanned vehicle can also include an inertial navigation unit that is configured to determine the current position of the unmanned vehicle. The unmanned vehicle can also include a control unit disposed in communication with the satellite navigation unit and the inertial navigation unit. The control unit is configured to determine a planned position of the unmanned vehicle based on the planned path, compare the current position determined by the inertial navigation unit with the planned position based on the planned path, and control the movement of the unmanned vehicle based on at least the comparison between the current position and the planned position.

Abstract: The vertical takeoff and landing unmanned aerial vehicle includes a pair of selectively rotatable ducted fans and a selectively rotatable thrust vectoring nozzle providing vertical takeoff and landing for an unmanned aerial vehicle or a similar type of aircraft. A pair of fixed forward-swept wings are mounted on a rear portion of a fuselage, and a pair of canards are mounted on a top end of a forward portion of the fuselage. The pair of ducted fans are respectively mounted on free ends of the pair of canards, and are selectively rotatable about an axis parallel to a pitch axis of the fuselage. An engine is mounted in the rear portion of the fuselage, and a thrust vectoring nozzle is mounted on the rear portion of the fuselage for directing thrust exhaust from the engine. The thrust vectoring nozzle is selectively rotatable about an axis parallel to the pitch axis.

Abstract: An aircraft including a wing system, a plurality of control surfaces, a camera mounted on a camera pod, and a control system. The camera pod is configured to vary the orientation of the camera field of view only in yaw, relative to the aircraft, between a directly forward-looking orientation and a side-looking orientation. The control system controls the control surfaces such that they induce a significant aircraft yaw causing an identified target to be within the field of view of the camera with the camera in the directly forward-looking orientation.
