Abstract: In an embodiment, a radar level gauge system can include an antenna system comprising an imaging phased array in an isolated antenna arrangement that supports monopulse processing for radar image resolution and mapping of a surface of a material. The imaging phased array can provide a narrow-beam with beam scanning/steering and can emit a transmit beam that scans the surface of the material and forms the mapping of the surface. The mapping can comprise a 3D volumetric model that can include an image of a surface profile of the surface based on signals returned from the surface. The imaging phase array and the antenna system are protected from condensation and contamination from chemicals and viscous materials.

Abstract: A traffic control system is described that comprises a transceiver configured to receive a first signal comprising location data indicating a location of an unmanned vehicle (UV). The traffic control system further comprises a processor configured to determine a location of a second vehicle and determine a course of the second vehicle. The processor is further configured to cause, based on determining the location of the second vehicle and the course of the second vehicle, the transceiver to transmit a second signal to the UV directing the UV to avoid the course of the second vehicle.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for detecting and confirming objects using a radar system and an electro-optical and imaging system of a vehicle. For instance, the method may include obtaining volumetric radar data, the volumetric radar data being produced by the radar system of the vehicle for zones of a scanned area; analyzing the volumetric radar data to detect objects in a subset of zones from among the zones of the scanned area; controlling the electro-optical and imaging system of the vehicle to examine the subset of zones to identify and confirm the presence of the detected objects in one or more zones of the subset of zones; receiving a confirmation that a detected object of the detected objects is present in the one or more zones of the subset of zones; and performing an action to update a vehicle system in response to receiving the confirmation.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to techniques, methods, devices, and systems for generating a bird and bat detection radar output using weather radar. In one example, a method includes generating, by a computing device that comprises one or more processors and is onboard a vehicle, a radar control output for an aircraft weather radar system to generate a radar transmission tuned to detect birds and bats. The method further includes receiving, by the computing device, radar data in response to the radar transmission. The method further includes determining, by the computing device, whether the radar data comprises data indicative of detected birds or bats. The method further includes generating, by the computing device, an output based at least in part on the data indicative of the detected birds or bats.
