  • APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ORDINANCE MOUNTING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20240158080
    Abstract: Embodiments of a payload attachment system secure a payload to a wing or fuselage of the drone (or another type of aircraft) using one or more vacuum mounting modules, wherein each vacuum mounting module comprises at least one vacuum pump controllably coupled to a microcontroller, a vacuum cup fluidly coupled to the at least one vacuum pump, and a transceiver that receives an instruction corresponding to one of a vacuum cup actuation signal or a vacuum cup release signal.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 18, 2023
    Publication date: May 16, 2024
    Inventor: Neil Buttermore
  • APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OBJECT MOUNTING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20240123632
    Abstract: Embodiments of an active object mounting system secure an object of interest to a surface of a secured-to object using one or more vacuum mounting modules, wherein each vacuum mounting module comprises at least one vacuum pump controllably coupled to a microcontroller, a vacuum cup fluidly coupled to the at least one vacuum pump, and a transceiver that receives an instruction corresponding to one of a vacuum cup actuation signal or a vacuum cup release signal.
