Abstract: A system including an enclosure and a suspension assembly is described. The enclosure includes a first housing section, a second housing section, and a joint link pivotably coupling the first housing section to the second housing section. The joint link couples the housing sections about pivot axes such that the housing sections are movable between an axially aligned operational position and a folded storage position in which the housing sections lie alongside one another. The suspension assembly includes a first end configured to couple to an aerial vehicle and a second end configured to couple to the enclosure. The suspension assembly is configured to be torsion-resistant.

Abstract: A carrier aerial vehicle system includes a propulsion component configured to enable the carrier aerial vehicle system to be in flight. The carrier aerial vehicle system further includes a retention mechanism configured to allow a plurality of deployable parasite aerial vehicles to be coupled to the retention mechanism and released from the retention mechanism while the carrier aerial vehicle system is in flight. The carrier aerial vehicle system further includes a communication component configured to enable the carrier aerial vehicle system to wireless communicate with the plurality of parasite deployable aerial vehicles. The carrier aerial vehicle system further includes a processor configured to determine a position on the retention mechanism for each deployable parasite aerial vehicle of the plurality of deployable parasite aerial vehicles.

Abstract: A system includes an electronic speed control throttle input from which an anticipated electrical power demand is determined. The system includes a controller that determines a throttle input for a generator in order to satisfy the anticipated electrical power demand. The system includes an electronic speed control throttle output providing a delayed electronic speed control throttle signal.
