Abstract: A method includes receiving a digital surface model of an area for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) navigation. The digital surface model represents an environmental surface in the area. The method includes determining, for each grid cell of a plurality of grid cells in the area, a confidence value of an altitude of the environmental surface at the grid cell and determining a terrain clearance value based at least on the confidence value of the altitude of the environmental surface at the grid cell. The method includes determining a route for a UAV through the area such that the altitude of the UAV is above the altitude of the environmental surface at each grid cell of a sequence of grid cells of the route by at least the terrain clearance value determined for the grid cell. The method includes causing the UAV to navigate through the area using the determined route.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle may include: a sensor part configured to acquire inertia information or position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle; and a controller. The controller is configured to estimate the position of the unmanned aerial vehicle by applying the information acquired by the sensor part to an extended Kalman filter and control movement of the unmanned aerial vehicle, based on the estimated position of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The sensor part includes: an inertia sensor configured to acquire the inertia information of the unmanned aerial vehicle; a tag recognition sensor configured to recognize a tag attached to a rack and acquire absolute position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle; and an image sensor attached to the unmanned aerial vehicle so as to acquire an image of the movement environment of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

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.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling an inspection flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle for purposes of inspecting an object, and to an inspection unmanned aerial vehicle. The method comprises the following: recording of image data for an object by means of a camera device on an unmanned aerial vehicle during a first flight path in a flight coordinates system in the vicinity of the object; and recording of depth data by means of a depth sensor device on the unmanned aerial vehicle, wherein the depth data indicate distances between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the object during the first flight path. Flight trajectory coordinates for the unmanned aerial vehicle are determined for purposes of inspecting the object, which avoids collision with the object.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing vertical flight guidance for an aircraft. Vertical flight guidance for the aircraft is provided by an aircraft computer in an altitude capture mode for commanding the aircraft to capture a target altitude. At least one engine inoperative condition is detected by the computer, while in the altitude capture mode. In response to detecting the at least one engine inoperative condition, the computer causes an automatic transition (e.g., no pilot action on a flight level change (FLC) pushbutton on a flight control panel) of the vertical flight guidance for the aircraft from the altitude capture mode to an already existing mode that is flight level change with modified control parameters and provides vertical flight guidance in the flight level change mode for commanding the aircraft to capture the target altitude while maintaining airspeed of the aircraft substantially at a target airspeed.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for guiding or otherwise assisting operation of an aircraft when diverting from a flight plan. One method involves determining a gliding trajectory for the aircraft based at least in part on a current altitude of the aircraft, providing a graphical representation of the gliding trajectory for the aircraft, identifying a plurality of landing locations within a range defined by the gliding trajectory from the aircraft, and for each landing location of the plurality of landing locations, providing a graphical representation of a respective landing location with respect to the gliding trajectory at a respective altitude associated with the respective landing location and at a respective distance with respect to a graphical representation of the aircraft corresponding to a respective geographic distance between a current location of the aircraft and the respective landing location.

Abstract: In an example, a method for deorbiting a spacecraft is described. The method includes selecting a target landing site for deorbiting the spacecraft. The method includes determining a range target and a velocity target for reaching a predicted atmospheric entry location. The method includes determining a back-propagated orbit state estimate of the spacecraft. The method includes comparing the back-propagated orbit state estimate to a known orbit state of the spacecraft to determine that the back-propagated orbit state estimate has converged with the known orbit state. The method includes calculating based on determining that the back-propagated orbit state estimate has converged with the known orbit state, (a) an estimated time of ignition for a propulsion system of the spacecraft and (b) an estimated burn velocity vector of the propulsion system using the range target and the velocity target. The method includes performing a burn pulse by the propulsion system.
