Abstract: There is provided herein a system for providing a stabilized video image with continuously scrollable and automatically controllable Line-Of-Site (LOS) and adjustable Field-Of-View (FOV) for use in an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), with no moving parts. The system comprising a plurality of fixed oriented sensors disposed in one or more of orientations, a computing unit comprising processor adapted to define a position of a window of interest (WOI) within one or more field-of-views of said plurality of sensors, read pixels data from said WOI, compensate, in real time, for changes in a target position relative to the UAV and for the UAV attitude by continuously scrolling the position of said WOI and provide a continuous high frame rate video image based on the pixels data from said WOI. The system may also provide retrievable high resolution images of the scene, to be stored in internal memory for later retrieve or transmitted to a Ground Control Station in parallel to the real-time video.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a parachute release device which may include a connecting element capable of connecting to an aircraft and to a parachute and a locking mechanism capable of releasing the connecting element from the aircraft upon being actuated by an actuator, wherein the parachute may be connected to the connecting element by a multiplicity of points, wherein the locking mechanism is adapted to inhibit a force from being applied to the actuator and wherein the device may be suitable for use in small weights aircrafts due to its small size and weight. The disclosure further provides a method for releasing a parachute from an aircraft, the method may include activating an actuator capable of releasing a locking mechanism, wherein the locking mechanism is adapted to release a connecting element from an aircraft upon being actuated, wherein the connecting element is adapted to connect a parachute and wherein the locking mechanism is adapted to inhibit a force from being applied to the actuator.
