    Abstract: An apparatus, and a method performed by the apparatus, are disclosed wherein the apparatus can be mounted on an unmanned vehicle and arranged to act upon a payload. The payload can be mounted on the unmanned vehicle and, under an action of the apparatus, is able to be activated. The method can include receiving an activation instruction from an entity remote from the unmanned vehicle; determining whether or not the received activation instruction is valid by performing a validation process; and in response to determining that the received activation instruction is valid, activating the payload. In response to determining that the received activation instruction is not valid, activation of the payload may be prevented or opposed.

    Abstract: A system comprising an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) having wing elements and tail elements configured to roll to angularly orient the UAV by rolling so as to align a longitudinal plane of the UAV, in its late terminal phase, with a target. A method of UAV body re-orientation comprising: (a) determining by a processor a boresight angle error correction value bases on distance between a target point and a boresight point of a body-fixed frame; and (b) effecting a UAV maneuver comprising an angular role rate component translating the target point to a re-oriented target point in the body-fixed frame, to maintain the offset angle via the offset angle correction value.

    Abstract: A micro-unmanned aerial vehicle deployment system is provided for a cruise missile having submunition compartments. The system includes a vehicle launch module releasable from the cruise missile submunition compartment. The vehicle launch system has a control circuit and at least one micro-unmanned aerial vehicle contained therein. Structure is provided in the launch module for deploying the micro-unmanned aerial vehicle. A separable tether can be joined between the cruise missile and the vehicle launch module that separates when subjected to tension after deployment of the vehicle launch module.

    Abstract: An apparatus and a method are disclosed, such as an apparatus wholly or partially mounted on an unmanned vehicle and arranged to act upon a payload, the payload being mounted on the unmanned vehicle and, under an action of the apparatus, being changeable from being in a first state to being in a second state. The method can include: receiving an instruction that the unmanned vehicle, with the payload mounted thereon, is to travel to a location; determining that the payload is in the first state; and responsive to determining that the payload is in the first state: opposing the payload being changed to being in the second state; and providing, for an entity remote from the unmanned vehicle, an indication that the payload is in the first state.

    Abstract: An aircraft wing includes a stationary root section and a telescoping end section slideable in the span wise direction, where the loads for the root and extendable end sections are carried predominately by the airfoil composite skins, rather than a framework of spars and ribs as in conventional aircraft wings. In a single-telescoping configuration the telescoping end section slides within the root section as it extends and retracts during flight, and in another, the telescoping end section slides over the root section as it extends and retracts during flight. The aircraft wing can also include a second telescoping distal end section, and can sweep back during flight, while the end sections or distal end sections are extended or retracted.
