Abstract: Systems and apparatus are provided for a high-power microwave sensor using an unmanned aerial vehicle. The unmanned aerial vehicle may include a central body, at least one electric motor, and a barometric pressure feedthrough. The central body may include a first enclosure housing a plurality of low voltage components, a voltage feedthrough connector, and a second enclosure housing a plurality of high voltage components. The low voltage components may include a first signal processing system, a first radio transceiver, a flight controller, a second signal processing system, a second radio transceiver, and a navigation system. The high voltage components may include a plurality of electronic speed controllers, a power distribution module, an input power interface, and a plurality of high power filters. The components of each enclosure may be segregated such that the high voltage components do not create electromagnetic interference with the low voltage components.

Abstract: A grip & roll in place string (G.R.i.P.-String) technique is described for the purpose of fastening or securing items that require additional physical support. The inventive device includes standard nylon string material with an integrated hook & loop section for increased gripping after the string has been tied. The string material is 100% multifilament nylon (FIG. 1, item 15). It is available in colors and resistant to chemicals and abrasion and is non-spliceable. The ‘Hook & Loop’ sections are integrated into the nylon string material. They consist of alternating minute hooks and loop pile that are integrated in a 45 degree angle (FIG. 2, item 30) to the string 0 degree line (FIG. 2, item 25) detail) from end-to-end of the ‘Hook & Loop’ section. The tie-through eye (FIG. 1, item 10) is a means to attach the G.R.i.P.-String fastener to the object that requires additional physical fastening support.
