Abstract: An emergency unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a method for employing a UAV. The method includes storing a digital elevation model (DEM) and associated data including locations of communication networks, updating the locations of communication networks in the associated data via a wireless transceiver, and storing position information determined by a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver. The method includes detecting a predetermined condition using electronic sensors, determining whether the UAV is within a communications range of any communication network via the wireless transceiver, and determining a path to a communication network using the DEM and the associated data. The method also includes causing the UAV to become airborne and fly along the path, and transmitting a distress message via the wireless transceiver to the communication network, the distress message including position information corresponding to a location where the UAV detected the predetermined condition.

Abstract: A system for bistatic radar target detection employs an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) having a radar antenna for bistatic reception of reflected radar pulses. The UAV operates with a flight profile in contested airspace. A tactical fighter aircraft having a radar transmitter for transmitting radar pulses operates with a flight profile in uncontested airspace. A communications data link operably interconnects the UAV and the tactical fighter aircraft, the communications data link transmitting data produced by the bistatic reception of reflected radar pulses in the UAV radar antenna to the fighter aircraft.

Abstract: Systems and methods configured to form and point beams from one or more unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) toward a target coverage area on the ground. One embodiment describes dividing the target coverage area on the ground among multiple UAVs when each UAV antenna system generates static beams. Another embodiment describes dividing the target coverage area on the ground among multiple UAVs when their antenna systems are capable of dynamically steering their respective beams. Another set of embodiments describe systems and method to allow multiple UAVs to provide service in the same area on the ground using the same spectrum.
