Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, computer program products, and devices for fully- or semi-autonomously managing the launch and movement of an unmanned vehicle or fleet of unmanned vehicles. In some aspects, a system includes a centralized data management system in communication over a network (e.g., public or private network) with a coded (fleet of) unmanned vehicle(s) and client devices that are distributed throughout areas of interest and operable by remote users to remotely program instructions for controlling one or more activities or tasks of the unmanned vehicle with complete secrecy of the instructions and anonymity of the remote user between client devices.

Abstract: Disclosed are specialized airframe structures for mission-adaptable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that are fabricated by rapid, low-cost additive manufacturing techniques. In some embodiments, an integral fastening system for a mission-adaptable aerial vehicle includes a first airframe section, a second airframe section, and a bayonet mount system that comprises one or more passageways produced on a first end region of the first airframe section to include a first channel and second channel, and one or more protrusions produced on a second end region of the second airframe section, such that, when the first and second airframe sections being assembled, the one or more protrusions are first aligned with an entry region of the first channel to be translated and then aligned with the second channel of the one or more passageways to be rotated to securely connect the first and second airframe sections together.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for mission-adaptable aerial vehicle. In some aspects, a mission-adaptable aerial vehicle includes a configuration having swappable, manipulatable, and interchangeable sections and components connectable by a connection and fastening system able to be modified by an end-user in the field. In some embodiments, a mission-adaptable aerial vehicle can be configured to include a main center body extending along a longitudinal direction, a wing with a lateral cross-sectional airfoil shape, and/or stabilizer and control surface structures with corresponding cross-sectional airfoil shapes.

Abstract: A heat protective sleeve includes a body being a sleeve extending along a longitudinal direction, and comprising a triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) structure between an inner diameter of the body and an outer diameter of the body. The TPMS structure has open spaces in communication with ambient air at the outer diameter of the body, and the inner diameter of the body is configured to contact a surface adjacent to the inner diameter. A strip extends along the longitudinal direction on a portion of the body. The strip is a same material as the TPMS structure, and the material of the strip is solid and without holes through it.

Abstract: A heat protective device includes a sheet having a first edge opposite a second edge. The sheet is comprised of a plurality of intertwined links that are movable with respect to each other. A strip is positioned between the first edge of the sheet and the second edge of the sheet. A fastener couples the first edge of the sheet and the second edge of the sheet to the strip to form a tubular shape. The fastener is configured to adjust a diameter of the tubular shape to releasably fix the heat protective device about an object. A method for manufacturing a heat protective device is also disclosed.

Abstract: A heat protective sleeve includes a body being cylindrical extending along a longitudinal direction and comprising a triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) structure, an open cell foam structure, or a lattice structure. A strip extends along the longitudinal direction of the body. The strip is a same material as the TPMS structure, the open cell foam structure, or the lattice structure. The material of the strip is solid and without holes through it. An endcap removably couples to the body. In some examples, the body has fastening threads and the endcap has mating threads. The mating threads of the endcap are configured to engage with the fastening threads of the body to releasably couple the endcap to the body.
