  • Method for autonomous controlling of a remote controlled aerial vehicle and corresponding system
    Patent number: 10650685
    Abstract: A method for autonomous controlling of a remote controlled aerial vehicle, wherein a flight operator commands the aerial vehicle, comprising the steps of: initializing a data link between the aerial vehicle and a ground segment; determining an operation condition of the data link during use of the data link; and issuing at least one autonomous controlling command, if, as a result of the determining, a loss of the data link is determined.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 23, 2014
    Date of Patent: May 12, 2020
    Assignee: AIRBUS DEFENCE AND SPACE GMBH

  • Method for autonomous controlling of an aerial vehicle and corresponding system
    Patent number: 10049590
    Abstract: A method for autonomous controlling of an aerial vehicle, wherein a flight operator commands the aerial vehicle, comprising the steps of: measuring flight and/or system data of the aerial vehicle; performing an evaluation of a flight condition of the aerial vehicle based on the measured data and based on at least one decision criterion; and, issuing at least one autonomous controlling command, if, as a result of the evaluation of the flight condition, the aerial vehicle is in danger.
