Abstract: A UAV has two rotors. First and second sensors sense a first and second type of input respectively. The second type of input is different than the first type, the first sensor providing a first sensor output and the second sensor providing a second sensor output. The first sensor output is input to a first computer and the second sensor output is input to a second computer. The first and second computer communicate in parallel to process the first and second sensor outputs to create a control signal having a predetermined number of variables therein, each variable having an exclusive position within the signal. The first computer outputs a first variable and the second computer outputs a second variable, each output being assigned an exclusive position within the control signal. At least one of the first and second computers outputting the control signal to the rotors.

Abstract: A system for controlling a gimbal has a gimbal controller. The gimbal controller has a communication device with a unique communication address and a microcontroller communicating with the communication device. The gimbal controller receives instructions addressed to the communication address and outputs one or more control outputs for controlling movement of a gimbal about at least one axis in response to receipt of the instructions.

Abstract: A system for landing a vertical take-off and landing aircraft includes a vertical take-off and landing aircraft, the aircraft having a light signal emitter. A landing station, has a camera including a lens for receiving the light signal emitted from the vertical take-off and landing aircraft. The landing station determines a normal line to the lens. The vertical take-off and landing aircraft communicates with the base The base receives the light signal at the camera and determines a lateral distance between the normal line and the aircraft. The landing station sends a control signal to the aircraft causing the aircraft to reduce the lateral distance between the aircraft and the normal line.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle has a substrate. A tether sensor is mounted on the substrate. The tether sensor determines an orientation of the tether relative to the substrate. A micro controller, receiving the measured orientation from the tether sensor, determines an orientation of the tether relative to the substrate, and as a function of the orientation, determines a corrective value and outputs the corrective value to the unmanned aerial vehicle as at least one of a roll output and a pitch output control signal.

Abstract: A system for tethered unmanned aerial vehicle having an unmanned aerial vehicle platform capable of flight. At least one propeller is mounted on the platform. A ground power system includes a low voltage direct current power supply for creating a low voltage direct current power signal and converting the low voltage direct current power signal to a higher voltage power signal. A tether physically and operatively couples the ground power system to the unmanned aerial vehicle platform and transmits the higher voltage power signals in alternating current voltage power signal to the unmanned aerial vehicle platform for powering the at least one propeller.

Abstract: A constant tension tether management system for tethered aircraft includes a ground station for operatively coupling to an unmanned aerial vehicle. The ground station includes a spool rotatably disposed within the ground station and adapted to support a tether thereon. A first pulley is rotatably mounted within the ground station along a tether travel path. A second pulley is rotatably disposed within the ground station and moves in translation along the tether travel path. The first pulley is disposed along the tether travel path between the spool and the second pulley.
