Abstract: A system for remotely displaying video captured by an unmanned aerial system (UAS), the system comprising an unmanned aerial system (UAS) including an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), one or more image capture devices coupled to the UAV for capturing video of an environment surrounding the UAV, and an onboard transmitter for transmitting a short-range or medium-range wireless signal carrying the video of the environment surrounding the UAV; a portable communications system including a receiver for receiving the short-range or medium-range wireless signal transmitted from the UAS and a transmitter for transmitting a long-range wireless signal carrying the video of the environment surrounding the UAV to a wide area network (WAN); and a server in communication with the WAN, the server being configured to share the video of the environment surrounding the UAV with one or more remote devices for display on the one or more remote devices.

Abstract: A multi-axis Digital Signal Processor based servo controller system in which all servo and sensor interface boards are connected to a common backplane bus system enabling inter-board communication, with parallel processing using dual port memory and multiple DSP chips, and with each servo board having access to position data from other axis feedback sensors as well as their own, and a self-tuning control software architecture that uses the hardware architecture high speed to allow it to self-tune control constants to optimize performance.
