    Abstract: Platform (100; 200, 200′, 200″) configured to acquire images and/or radio signals and to be carried by lightweight aviation aircrafts, characterised in that it comprises housing means (1, 3; 22, 201, 202, 203, 31) that houses one or more acquisition sensors selected from the group comprising or consisting of cameras (5; 51; 32) configured to acquire still and/or moving images and radio signal receivers (62; 34) configured to acquire radio signals, said housing means (1, 3; 22, 201, 202, 203, 31) being configured to be coupled to a light aviation aircraft (540), said one or more acquisition sensors (5; 51; 32; 62; 34) being connected to processing means (6; 23) configured to receive sensing data from a position and motion sensing unit (10; 230) coupled to said one or more acquisition sensors (5; 51; 32; 62; 34), said processing means (6; 23) being configured to control and/or program, on the basis of the received sensing data, each acquisition sensor (5; 51; 32; 62; 34) so as to enable the same to acquire images and/or radio signals when such acquisition sensor (5; 51; 32; 62; 34) is in a determined position and is subject to oscillations having a velocity that is not larger in absolute value than a maximum oscillation velocity value, whereby a rate of variation of an actual aiming of such acquisition sensor (5; 51; 32; 62; 34) is not larger in absolute value than a respective maximum value of rate of variation of offset with respect to an ideal aiming at a target, so as to ensure focusing of such acquisition sensor (5; 51; 32; 62; 34) on an aimed area.

    Abstract: An unmanned aircraft system (UAS) making use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for more than one task. The inventors discovered that an improved UAS could be provided by combining one or more of these three elements: (1) hot-swappable modular kits (e.g., a plurality of components useful in UAVs to perform particular user-selectable tasks); (2) an interconnection mechanism for each component with identification protocols that provides both a physical and a data connection; and (3) an intelligent system that interprets the identification protocols and determines the configuration for a selected task, error checking, airworthiness, and calibration. The system and associated methods for the task based drone configuration and verification reduces the possibility of task failure by an operator.

    Abstract: System and method for aiding the accuracy of airdrop missions by performing localized weather data collection in a column of air and then subsequently storing, decimating and forwarding the data to a remote location. A first aircraft flies to the geographic location of the desired airdrop, deploys an atmospheric conditions sensing dropsonde, collects the data from the dropsonde, stores that data, then transmits that data or a decimated subset of that data either once or any number of consecutive times, to a second aircraft located at a predetermined distance from the first aircraft.
