Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can be configured for fire suppression and ignition. In some examples, the UAV includes an aerial propulsion system, an ignition system, and a control system. The ignition system includes a container of delayed-ignition balls and a dropper configured, by virtue of one or more motors, to actuate and drop the delayed-ignition balls. The control system is configured to cause the UAV to fly to a site of a prescribed burn and, while flying over the site of the prescribed burn, actuate one or more of the delayed-ignition balls. After actuating the one or more delayed-ignition balls, the UAV drops the actuated one or more delayed-ignition balls from the UAV onto the site of the prescribed burn.

Abstract: Systems and methods for sensor emplacement using unmanned aircraft systems (UASs). In some examples, a UAS includes a propulsion system and a sensor emplacement system including an auger and one or more motors. The UAS includes a control system configuring for controlling the propulsion system to land the UAS at a sensor emplacement site and controlling the one or more motors of the sensor emplacement system to drive the auger into soil at the sensor emplacement site. The control system is configured for measuring one or more augering parameters from the sensor emplacement system; and determining, using an autonomous system trained on soil data and augering data, one or more soil classification values for the soil based on the one or more augering parameters.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can be configured for crop height estimation. In some examples, the UAV includes an aerial propulsion system, a laser scanner configured to face downwards while the UAV is in flight, and a control system. The laser scanner is configured to scan through a two-dimensional scan angle and is characterized by a maximum range. The control system causes the UAV to fly over an agricultural field and maintain, using the aerial propulsion system and the laser scanner, a distance between the UAV and a top of crops in the agricultural field to within a programmed range of distances based on the maximum range of the laser scanner. The control system determines, using range data from the laser scanner, a crop height from the top of the crops to the ground.
