Abstract: Navigation beacons may be trained to receive signals of opportunity from one or more vehicles, to recognize their own position based on such signals, and to transmit information regarding their own position to one or more other vehicles accordingly. The navigation beacons may be of small size and feature a basic construction including one or more transceivers, power sources and the like, and may communicate via a Bluetooth® Low Energy, Ultra Wideband or long-range low-power wireless standard, or any other standard. The navigation beacons may be installed in any location, preferably being mounted to one or more existing fixed structures or facilities (e.g., transportation structures or facilities), and may operate in active and/or passive modes when learning their positions or servicing position information to one or more remote devices.

Abstract: One or more UAVs may survey signal sources encountered during execution of flight plans. A UAV may identify a signal source and determine attributes about the signal source. The attributes may include a location, an identifier, a signal/network type, a signal strength, and/or other information about the signal or signal source. Some attributes may be supplied by the signal source and other attributes may be assigned by another source that received signals from the signal source. The signal source may be associated with a trust level or trust designation (e.g., trusted, not trusted, unknown, etc.). An example of an untrusted signal source is a rogue signal source. A signal source may be labeled as untrusted or have a designation of unknown trust level based on application of one or more rules. Survey results and attributes may be compiled and made available for use by other parties.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for reducing the amount of messaging between aerial vehicles and between controllers of aerial vehicles and simplifying aerial vehicle traffic management. In one implementation, a large service area, such as the United States, may be separated into a series of hierarchal regions. Rather than sending notifications to all agents (e.g., aerial vehicles, controllers) in the service area, each agent may subscribe to one or more regions of the hierarchal regions and only receive messages intended for the subscribed regions. In one example, as discussed below, messages for a particular region are only sent to agents subscribed to that region. Other agents within the larger service area do not receive the messages as they may not be relevant to those agents.

Abstract: A method and system are provided that create a limited use secure environment (LSE) image such as a limited use operating system installation that can be booted from a removable medium (e.g. CD or flash drive). The limited use secure environment is a limited purpose OS, web browser, etc. that prevents undesired activities. When the limited use secure environment boots, it initiates a pairing operation in which a pairing code and user credentials are conveyed to an authorization server. Once the pairing code and credentials are confirmed, a provisioning service provides configuration credentials to the limited use secure environment to enable the limited use secure environment to establish a secure connection through a gateway to resources of interest.

Abstract: A distributed execution environment can provide access to field-programmable device resources. The field-programmable device resources can be provided in association with one or more instances that are instantiated within the distributed execution environment upon request from a computing system. The computing system can be associated with a customer of the distributed execution environment. The customer can program the field-programmable device resources using designs created by or for the customer.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for storing path data for all vehicles of a service area in a path data store and representing each path with a unique hash value, generated based on the path data. Rather than controllers and/or aerial vehicles exchanging the full path data for each path, a common hash function may be used to generate unique hash values for each path and the unique hash values may be exchanged and used to lookup the full path data.
