An unmanned system maneuver controller (USMC) includes an inertial navigation system (INS) for state estimation of the USMC in three-dimensional (3D) space, a communications device configured to communicate with an unmanned system, and a processor configured to receive, via the communications device, flight, maneuver, or dive data from the unmanned system, and generate flight, maneuver, or dive control instructions based at least on the flight, maneuver, or dive data and data received from the INS. The flight, maneuver, or dive control instructions are configured to pilot the unmanned system based on movement of the USMC in 3D space. A remote may selectively control an operation of the USMC. The USMC may be mounted to a weapon or observation device, such that movement of the weapon or observation device in 3D space controls a movement of the unmanned system. Additional systems and associated methods are also provided.

The present invention provides a system and method for identifying trash within a predetermined geographic boundary using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The system comprises a UAV equipped with a camera, a wireless transceiver, and a first processor. The UAV communicates with a controller via a wireless network. The controller, which can be cloud-based or located on a computer connected to the wireless network, is configured to process image data captured by the camera using a neural network. The neural network helps to identify and geolocate trash within the images. The controller is further configured to route the UAV according to a preprogrammed flight path, plot the locations of any detected trash onto a map, and generate a report that can be made accessible to subscribers.

Drone systems can include one or more drones that can fly. A drone can include a camera system that has one or more cameras. Drones can fly over an avalanche zone where an avalanche recently occurred to search for avalanche victims and mark the locations of avalanche victims to quickly and accurately notify people where to dig through the snow to save avalanche victims from asphyxiation.
