Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080210809ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FOR UNMANNED VEHICLES - An electrical system for unmanned vehicles includes a first spine printed circuit board (PCB) having an electronic buss on or between layers of the first spine PCB for transmitting electronic signals to and between distal ends of the PCB. The spine PCB can be used as a portion of the structure of the unmanned vehicle or can be contained within an elongated structural spine, tube or spar of an unmanned vehicle thereby forming a structural part of the vehicle.09-04-2008
20080245924ROTARYCRAFT POWER AND PROPULSION SYSTEM - A rotary wing vehicle includes a body structure having an elongated tubular backbone or core and a counter-rotating coaxial rotor system having rotors. The rotor system is used to move the rotary wing vehicle in directional flight.10-09-2008
20090212157MICRO-ROTORCRAFT SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM - A flying micro-rotorcraft unit is provided for remote tactical and operational missions. The unit includes an elongated body having an upper and a lower end. The body defines a vertical axis. The unit further includes a navigation module including means for determining a global position of the elongated body during flight of the unit. Rotor means of the unit is coupled to the upper end of the elongated body for generating a thrust force that acts in a direction parallel to the vertical axis to lift the elongated body into the air. The rotor means is located between the elongated body and the navigation module.08-27-2009
20090314883UAV LAUNCH AND RECOVERY SYSTEM - An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is launched and recovered using a UAV management system. The UAV is stored in a magazine and moved from the magazine during a launch operation and to the magazine during a recovery operation.12-24-2009
20110006166ROTARY WING VEHICLE - A rotary wing vehicle includes a body structure having an elongated tubular backbone or core, and a counter-rotating coaxial rotor system having rotors with each rotor having a separate motor to drive the rotors about a common rotor axis of rotation. The rotor system is used to move the rotary wing vehicle in directional flight.01-13-2011
