Abstract: An aerial object position determination system including an acoustic detection module comprising a plurality of microphones positioned about a central axis of the first unit; a computer vision module comprising multiple cameras positioned about the central axis of the first unit; an automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) receiver provided with the first unit. One or more processors are configured to receive data from the acoustic detection module, the computer vision module and the ADS-B receiver. Based on the received data, the one or more processors determine a position of an aerial object. The determined position of the aerial object is transmitted to a receiving device.

Abstract: Systems and methods describe providing field data collection using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The system receives a request, from a client device, to perform an aerial mission. The system selects a launch hangar, from a group of launch hangars that are in networked communication, to launch a UAV to perform the aerial mission. The system transmits to the UAV from the selected launch hangar, instructions to perform the aerial mission. The system deploys from the selected launch hangar, the UAV to perform the aerial mission and obtain sensor data pertaining to a structure and/or a geographic area. The system receives the UAV at a return hangar which receives the obtained sensor data from the UAV.
