Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle with deployable components (UAVDC) is disclosed. The UAVDC may comprise a fuselage, at least one wing, and at least one control surface. In some embodiments, the UAVDC may further comprise a propulsion means and/or a modular payload. The UAVDC may be configured in a plurality of arrangements. For example, in a compact arrangement, the UAVDC may comprise the at least one wing stowed against the fuselage and the at least one control surface stowed against the fuselage. In a deployed arrangement, the UAVDC may comprise the at least one wing deployed from the fuselage and the least one control surface deployed from the fuselage. In an expanded arrangement, the UAVDC may comprise the at least one wing telescoped to increase a wingspan of the deployed arrangement.

Abstract: An unmanned helicopter platform includes a fuselage, a tail coupled with the fuselage, a payload rail coupled with and extending along the fuselage and a main rotor assembly coupled with the fuselage. The tail includes a tail rotor and a tail rotor motor. The main rotor assembly includes a main rotor having an axis of rotation and a main rotor motor. The payload rail allows mechanical connection of payloads to the fuselage and positioning of the payloads such that a center of gravity of the payloads is alignable with the axis of rotation. A system for controlling the unmanned helicopter includes a processor and a memory for providing instructions to the processor. The processor can receive a task, dynamically determine a route for the task and autonomously perform the task including flying along at least part of the route. The route is based on the task, geography and terrain.

Abstract: The system comprises a plurality of sensor systems, a counter drone, and a processor. A sensor system of the plurality of sensor systems comprises one or more sensors that are connected to a network. The counter drone is connected to the network. The processor is configured to receive an indication of a potential target from the plurality of sensor systems; generate a fused data set for the potential target, determine whether the potential target comprises the threat drone based at least in part on the fused data set; and in response to determining that the potential target comprises the threat drone, provide counter drone instructions to the counter drone.

Abstract: A system comprises an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to provide a request to join a publish group from a client or a point to point communication link of a lattice mesh; and receive a group key or a host public key. The processor is configured to determine whether a message has been received; in response to the message having been received, determine whether the message is to be sent on; in response to the message being determined not to be sent on, decode the message using the group key or the host public key; determine whether to store the message in a backfill database; in response to determining to store the message in the backfill database, store the message in the backfill database.

Abstract: A pan tilt unit comprises a support, a slip ring, a rotating platform, and a tilting mechanism. An outer rotating portion of the slip ring is able to rotate about the support. The slip ring comprises connections between an inner static portion of the slip ring and the outer rotating portion of the slip ring. The rotating platform is coupled to the outer rotating portion of the slip ring. The tilting mechanism is coupled to the rotating platform.

Abstract: A system for display and interaction includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive data from one or more sensors. The processor is configured to convert the data to a common synthetic data space; provide the common synthetic data space for display; and receive a command associated with an object represented in the common synthetic data space. In some embodiments, the processor is coupled to a memory that stores instructions for the processor.

Abstract: A system for a lattice mesh comprises an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a request to join a publish group from a client. The processor is configured to determine a group key; determine whether the client is allowed access to a topic of the publish group; in response to the client being allowed access to the topic of the publish group, provide the group key to the client; publish a group message including metadata; determine whether it is time to rotate the group key; and in response to it being time to rotate the group key, determine a new group key.

Abstract: A system for a lattice mesh comprises an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a request to register from a host, wherein the request to register includes a key and a set of asset IDs that the host wishes to claim. The processor is configured to sign the key to generate a resource authority (RA) certificate signed key with an RA certificate; update an asset database with the RA certificate signed key; distribute the RA certificate signed host public key through the network; and provide the host with the RA certificate signed key. In some embodiments, the system further comprises a memory that is coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
