  • Multi sensor support structure
    Patent number: 11975864
    Abstract: A shield system for an unmanned arial vehicle (AUV) is provided. The shield system includes inner shield members rigidly mounted to at least the rotor arms of the AUV and outer shield members shock mounted to the inner shield members. The shield system defines opening for sensors, payload or mechanical portions of the UAV.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 22, 2022
    Date of Patent: May 7, 2024

  • Multi sensor support structure
    Patent number: 11420766
    Abstract: A spheroidal framework having sensors is mounted to a multi-rotor aircraft with elastic members and adjustable aircraft mounts whereby transmission of vibration from the aircraft to the framework is dampened and whereby the framework's position relative to the aircraft's center of gravity may be changed by selectively tensioning the elastic members and by adjusting the position of the aircraft mounts.

  • Multi Sensor Support Structure
    Publication number: 20170334579
    Abstract: A framework for supporting sensors arranged on the framework to gather information from the environment from all directions simultaneously such that the components of an aircraft to which the framework is mounted are not within the field of view of the sensors or cameras. The framework is mechanically coupled to the aircraft with tensioned elastic members adjustably coupled to the aircraft, which serve to dampen the transmission of vibration from aircraft to framework.
