SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING THE POSITION OF AN OBJECT USING AN UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may have a positional sensor and an image sensor. The UAV may receive from an electronic structure a first wireless signal. The first wireless signal may include a first direction of illumination. In accordance with the first wireless signal, the UAV may identify a target object based, at least in part, on the first direction of illumination. The UAV may also determine positional coordinates of the target object.

PRECISION APPROACH AND LANDING SYSTEM FOR AIRCRAFT
An aircraft with a mission computer, a GNSS receiver with a first air interface and a first receiver and a data transmission unit with a second air interface and a second receiver. The data transmission unit can receive data via an encrypted, bidirectional communication path. The mission computer determines a position value for the aircraft based on satellite signals from the GNSS receiver to which a correction term has been applied, which is transmitted to the aircraft by the data transmission unit to determine corrected satellite signals. The corrected satellite signals are the basis for determining corrected position value. The mission computer uses a GNSS receiver and data transmission unit as part of the aircraft. A ground arrangement is provided with an associated ground station and optionally a test unit for checking correct determination of the corrected position value.
Battery management system
A method of discharging a battery assembly used to power at least part of an object includes detecting when power to the object is turned off, detecting, with aid of a timer, an amount of time elapsed since the power to the object is turned off, and initiating a controlled self-discharge of the battery assembly when the amount of time exceeds a threshold length of time. The controlled self-discharge of the battery assembly is performed by a self-discharging circuit electrically coupled to the battery assembly.
FLIGHT DATA RECORDER FOR UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS
The invention is that of a flight data recorder with significant reduction in size, weight and power making it suitable for use with most unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). A flight data recorder of the present invention may be mounted to a UAS or stored in a payload bay or compartment therein. It is an object of the invention to enable programming aircraft flights and recording flight data when autopilot fails, dramatically improving data collection and the ability to determine flight limits and detect problems. An FDR according to the present invention comprises onboard hardware and software systems enabling the programmable collection, storage and processing of flight data along with a means of transferring data to other devices for use. It is an object of the invention to enable wireless data transmissions while maintaining the ability to disable wireless transceivers during flight to prevent interference with flight management signals.
