Abstract: A radar system for tracking UAVs and other low flying objects utilizing wireless networking equipment is provided. The system is implemented as a distributed low altitude radar system where transmitting antennas are coupled with the wireless networking equipment to radiate signals in a skyward direction. A receiving antenna or array receives signals radiated from the transmitting antenna, and in particular, signals or echoes reflected from the object in the skyward detection region. One or more processing components is electronically coupled with the wireless networking equipment and receiving antenna to receive and manipulate signal information to provide recognition of and track low flying objects and their movement within the coverage region. The system may provide detection of objects throughout a plurality of regions by networking regional nodes, and aggregating the information to detect and track UAVs and other low flying objects as they move within the detection regions.

Abstract: A cellular type communications system for cellular telephone networks to operate, control and communicate with unmanned aerial vehicles and remote piloted vehicles, the system including a first near-ground region to communicate with devices near the ground, as well as one or more layers covering roughly the same areal extent as the ground region but which are separated from each other and also elevated above ground substantially, and within which an aerial vehicle may rely on communications using the cell-based communications network.

Abstract: A system for RF communications with UAVs which includes two distinct frequency bands, one for optional use to support datagrams between a UAV payload and a computer or controller and a second RF communications band dedicated to command and control and navigation datagrams transception between the UAV and a host controller or control network. Embodiments of the system are implemented to cover, with regard to the second RF communications sub-system, a large region suitable for enabling communications with a number of UAVs by creating a skyward projected cell system, and dividing its frequency range into sub-channels, where sub-bands into which the frequency range may be divided may be used in a re-use scheme.

Abstract: A system for deploying an airbag when an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has failed or is no longer able to sustain flight, comprising a triggering means which releases compressed air into a bag or bags which are configured to expand around the UAV for the purpose of reducing the deceleration forces of the UAV on impact. UAV's are provided that are configured with a system that includes a triggering mechanism that deploys one or more bags when there is a failure or when flight is no longer sustainable.
