Abstract: A flight plan analysis system is configured to determine a flight plan decision regarding a proposed flight plan for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The flight plan analysis system includes a flight plan database that stores risk factor data, and a flight plan analysis unit communicatively coupled to the flight plan database. The flight plan analysis unit receives a proposed flight plan for the UAV and determines the flight plan decision based on an analysis of the proposed flight plan and the risk factor data.

Abstract: A flight range-restricting system is configured to control a flight range of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The flight range-restricting system includes a database including a UAV capabilities storage area that stores UAV capabilities data indicative of technical specifications of the UAV, and a restricted airspace storage area that stores restricted airspace data indicative of a restricted airspace. A range-restricting control unit is communicatively coupled to the database. The range-restricting control unit controls the flight range of the UAV based on a current location of the UAV, the UAV capabilities data, and the restricted airspace data.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for providing dynamic tactile feedback. A tactile feedback generator is mounted in each vehicle in a group of vehicles and is coupled to provide a controllable tactile feedback signal to an operator of each vehicle in the group of vehicles upon receipt of an activation signal. A tactile feedback control device is mounted in each vehicle in the group of vehicles and is coupled to the tactile feedback generator for selectively providing an activation signal and a tactile feedback characteristic signal thereto. An accelerometer is positioned within each vehicle in the group of vehicles. A turbulence processing unit is coupled to receive accelerometer data from each accelerometer. The turbulence processing unit processes the accelerometer data to identify characteristics of a current level of turbulence-induced vibration, and, based thereon, selects and provides updated tactile feedback characteristics to each tactile feedback control device.
