  • Publication number: 20240149943
    Abstract: A commercial vehicle having various GVWR configurations with a vehicle body with two or more axles, and a cab that does not pivot relative to the vehicle body, and a battery-electric-powered or hydrogen-electric-powered propulsion system. The vehicle has a center of gravity that is substantially lower, and a track width which is substantially narrower, than an articulating tractor-trailer combination with a trailer size comparable to the vehicle body of the present invention, providing substantially increased stability, and with all axles steerable, substantially improving the turning and trailing of the vehicle. Additional attributes are improved safety, increased payload weight and cubic capacity, higher productivity and lower maintenance costs. Many other advantages flow from this vehicle design.

  • Patent number: 11477652
    Abstract: The system and methods described herein aids in the defense of unmanned vehicles, such as aerial vehicles, from wifi cyber attacks. Such attacks usually do not last long and in the case of many point-to-point command and control systems, the attacks originate from close proximity to the unmanned vehicle. The system and methods described herein allow a team to rapidly identify and physically respond to an adversary trying to take control of the unmanned vehicle. Another aspect of the embodiment taught herein is to allow for the location of a wifi signal in a hands-free manner by able to visualize the source of the signal using an augmented reality display coupled to an antenna array.
