  • Methods and systems for unmanned aerial vehicles to detect and avoid other flying machines
    Patent number: 11994880
    Abstract: Methods and systems for unmanned aerial vehicles are provided. One method includes receiving, by a control system, sensor data from a mobile ground-based platform and sensor data from a ground-based radar surveillance system, the control system configured to communicate with a first UAV and a second UAV; detecting, by the control system, an object likely to impede the second UAV flight within a flight path, the object detected based on the sensor data received from the mobile ground-based platform, the ground-based radar surveillance system or both the ground-based radar surveillance system and the mobile ground-based platform; generating, by the control system, an indicator indicating an object in the flight path; and transmitting, by the control system, the indicator to the first UAV.
