  • Publication number: 20240106742
    Abstract: A system may include a transmitter node and a receiver node. Each node may include a communications interface including at least one antenna element and a controller operatively coupled to the communications interface, the controller including one or more processors, wherein the controller has information of own node velocity and own node orientation. Each node may be time synchronized to apply Doppler corrections associated with said node's own motions relative to a common reference frame. The common reference frame may be known to the transmitter node and the receiver node prior to the transmitter node transmitting signals to the receiver node. The receiver node may be an autonomous vehicle. The receiver node may be configured to identify a risk of a potential collision with the transmitter node based on the signals.

  • Patent number: 11545040
    Abstract: A computer apparatus includes a touchscreen display. The computer apparatus generates a graphical user interface on the touchscreen display and receive user inputs via the touchscreen display. The graphical user interface includes symbology representing a flight path of multiple unmanned teamed assets from a current position to a current objective. The graphical user interface also includes symbology representing a card associated with each of the unmanned teamed assets. By the touchscreen display, an operator selects one of the unmanned teamed assets, for emphasis of the flight path. The flight paths of the non-selected unmanned teamed assets remain displayed when the selected flight path is emphasized. The operator may select the unmanned teamed asset by the flight path or by the unmanned teamed asset card.

  • Publication number: 20220324562
    Abstract: A computer apparatus includes a touchscreen display. The computer apparatus generates a graphical user interface on the touchscreen display and receive user inputs via the touchscreen display. The graphical user interface includes symbology representing multiple unmanned teamed assets, a primary command and control asset currently controlling the unmanned teamed assets, and one or more secondary command and control assets not currently controlling the unmanned teamed asset. By the touchscreen display, an operator selects one of the secondary command and control assets for transferring control. The computer apparatus may be coupled with either the primary or the secondary command and control asset. The computer apparatus may initiate the transfer request. Similarly, the computer apparatus may receive the transfer request and confirm transfer.
