MITESHKUMAR K. PATEL has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11132100
    Abstract: A system includes an analytics collector that receives world state data to provide status relating to a plurality of mission analytics of an unmanned vehicle or an unmanned vehicle mission planner. An asset filter filters the status from the analytics collector with respect to mission analytics of a subset of selected assets. An analytic aggregator collects the filtered status from the asset filter and generates a visual analytics file based on one or more selected analytics for the subset of selected assets. A rendering pipeline processes the visual analytics file from the analytic aggregator and generates a formatted output file describing a visualization of the plurality of mission analytics from the visual analytics file.

  • Patent number: 10296862
    Abstract: A method includes processing one or more mission plan inputs to generate a mission definition file (MDF) that includes mission data that describes one or more plans for one or more manned or unmanned vehicles. The method includes evaluating planned tasks against defined scoring criteria specific to each task type and specific to each task to generate individual task achievement quality scores for each of the planned mission tasks. The method includes processing the MDF, the individual task quality scores, and route costs to generate a mission plan to enable evaluation and comparison of one or more mission plans. The method includes generating graphical output data from the output quality scores where the graphical output data can be configured as a mission plan evaluation chart.

  • Patent number: 9976868
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer executable instructions stored thereon is provided. The computer executable instructions include a mission definition file (MDF) that includes mission data that describes alternative routes generated by at least one mission planner for a vehicle. An MDF parser extracts the mission data for the alternative routes from the MDF and maps the mission data into a temporal data structure describing the alternative routes. The temporal data includes a route list to describe the alternative routes for the vehicle and a route segment list to describe an estimated time between each of the waypoints for each segment of the route list. A waypoint list describes a latitude, a longitude, and an altitude for each of the waypoints and a mission plan constructor generates a network topology of a mission plan depicting the alternative routes for the vehicle over time.

  • Patent number: 9952591
    Abstract: An interface includes a human machine interface (HMI) to provide a visualization of current and future states of a mission associated with one or more unmanned vehicles. A time specifier provides input to the HMI to specify a current time or a future time for the visualization of the current and future states of the mission. A prediction engine generates predictions of the current and future states of the mission for the visualization based on the current time or the future time specified by the time specifier.
