Abstract: Automated systems and methods for collecting environmental data along a ballistic trajectory are disclosed. The systems and methods may comprise automatically estimating the ballistic trajectory of a projectile. The systems and methods may comprise automatically converting the ballistic trajectory into a ballistic flight path comprising a plurality of coordinates. The systems and methods may comprise electronically communicating the ballistic flight path to a guidance system of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The guidance system may be configured to cause the UAV to navigate along the ballistic flight path. The systems and methods may comprise automatically collecting environmental data along the ballistic flight path.

Abstract: An approach is disclosed for providing navigation information for a requested listing to a mobile device caller of a directory assistance call. If the caller selects an option to receive driving directions to the listing destination, the directory assistance provider forwards the listing address to a platform that correlates the address with location coordinates. The platform can poll the calling device to obtain GPS identifying data for the mobile device and derive mapping and routing information.
