Abstract: An inventory management system managing a plurality of inventory items stored in a storage area. The inventory management system includes an autonomous vehicle configured to move within the storage area and a computing device communicatively coupled to the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle includes a beacon configured to facilitate detection of a current position of the autonomous vehicle based on signal triangulation, a sensor configured to detect information indicative of a number of inventory items at the current position of the autonomous vehicle, and a wireless data link configured to transmit a signal indicative of the number of inventory items. The computing device may detect a position of the autonomous vehicle based on the signal transmitted from the beacon, and update an inventory of the storage area based on the signal indicative of the number of inventory items.

Abstract: Example implementations associated with the aspects of the present invention include a low altitude aircraft identification system composed by three components: a small aircraft electronic identification box with an embedded logger, a ground identification equipment to automatically identify the aircraft just pointing at it, and an identification code database. The identification code can be transmitted by a visible light color sequence or by a radio frequency signal. The ground identification device is capable of recognizing both kinds of code.

Abstract: An indication of a detected security event is received. One or more sensors are selected based on the detected security event. The selected sensors are used to detect additional information associated with a protected airspace associated with the detected security event. A risk level assessment associated with the detected security event is determined based at least in part on the additional information detected using the selected sensors. A response is automatically invoked based on the determined risk level assessment.

Abstract: A wireless communication receiver is used to receive a wireless signal that identifies an identifier transmitted by an aircraft. A token value and a vehicle identifier are obtained from the received transmitted identifier. A secret corresponding to the vehicle identifier is obtained. A synchronized time value is obtained. A comparison token value is generated using the secret and the synchronized time value. The obtained token value and the generated comparison token value are compared to determine an authenticity of the received transmitted identifier.

Abstract: A system for identifying an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) detected in a location includes a reader device. The reader device includes a receiver configured to receive identification information transmitted from the UAV, and a transmitter configured to provide the received identification information to an identification server. The identification server includes a memory configured to store UAV registration information associated with the UAV, a receiver configured to receive the identification information provided by the reader device, and a processor configured to provide a verification of the identification information received by the reader based on the provided identification information and the stored UAV registration information.
