Abstract: A UAV-carried surveillance and remote sensing platform is launched from a high altitude and flies over a target area, collecting remote sensing imagery before returning to earth. The UAV may be towed to a desired altitude by a powered aircraft or a balloon and then launched for cruising over a target area while capturing data. Instead of being piloted remotely, the UAV employs an autonomous flight control system.

Abstract: A system for airborne remote sensing comprises an array of remote imaging sensors and supporting equipment configured for a combined larger field of view and provided by any of the array of remote imaging sensors alone. The array is mounted in a housing for attachment to a wing or elsewhere on an aircraft. Data collected by the array may be stitched together to provide an image of a larger area than can be acquired by any one of the remote imaging sensors. The data may be stored onboard the aircraft or transmitted to a ground receiver for analysis. The array of remote imaging sensors thus allows for more effective use of an aircraft for activities such as hydrocarbon leak detection and pipeline right-of-way monitoring.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle capable of vertical takeoff and landing carries a remote sensing platform to a high altitude cruising altitude and flies over a target area, collecting remote sensing imagery before returning to earth. Instead of being piloted remotely, the vehicle employs an autonomous flight control system.
