The present disclosure aims to implement UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) logistics operation and air traffic control in flyable airspace technically through a UAV task planning system, which depends on blockchain technology to carry out UAV air traffic surveillance on flight segments in a predetermined barrier-free airway and optimize air traffic according to a safe separation distance for fewest UAV operators, air traffic controllers, communications links and airborne loads.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for identifying, tracking, and disrupting UAVs are described herein. A tracking system can receive sensor data associated with an object in a particular airspace from one or more radio frequency sensors. The tracking system can analyze the sensor data relating to the object to identify a type of RF signal being used by the object. A portable countermeasure device can generate one or more disruption signals on one or more targeted bands of spectrum based on the type of RF signal being used by the object.

A distributed airborne acoustic anti-drone intelligence system (DAAADS) which senses an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) approaching a protected site, predicts trajectories of the UAV which intersect the protected site and identifies the type of the UAV. When at least one of the trajectories intersect the protected site, an alarm and predicted trajectories are transmitted to an air defense unit, which neutralizes the UAV. Debris generated by the neutralization is tracked and trajectories of the debris are predicted. When a trajectory of the debris is predicted to intersect with the protected site, an alert is transmitted to the protected site.

A flight management system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), in which the UAV is equipped for cellular fourth generation (4G) flight control. The UAV carries on-board a 4G modem, an antenna connected to the modem for providing for downlink wireless RF. A computer is connected to the modem. A 4G infrastructure to support sending via uplink and receiving via downlink from and to the UAV. The infrastructure further includes 4G base stations capable of communicating with the UAV along its flight path. An antenna in the base station is capable of supporting a downlink to the UAV. A control centre accepts navigation related data from the uplink. In addition, the control centre further includes a connection to the 4G infrastructure for obtaining downlinked data. A computer for calculating location of the UAV using navigation data from the downlink.

A method, medium, and system to receive flight parameter data relating to a plurality of flights, the flight parameter data including indications of aircraft performance based navigation (PBN) capabilities, flight plan information, an aircraft configuration, and an airport configuration for the plurality of flights; assign probabilistic properties to the flight parameter data; receive accurate and current position and predicted flight plan information for a plurality of aircraft corresponding to the flight parameter data; determine a probabilistic trajectory for two of the plurality of aircraft based on a combination of the probabilistic properties of the flight parameter data and the position and predicted flight plan information, the probabilistic trajectory being specific to the two aircraft and including a target spacing specification to maintain a predetermined spacing between the two aircraft at a target location with a specified probability; and generate a record of the probabilistic trajectory for the two aircraft.

A communication optimization system/method for mobile networks uses a server that generates waypoints based on a first communication network within a route to be travelled by an aerial vehicle, the aerial vehicle comprising a communication hub configured to communicate with at least one communication node, a communication hub controller configured control movement of a steerable antenna, and an aerial vehicle controller configured control movement of the aerial vehicle. The server then transmits the waypoints to the aerial vehicle controller; periodically monitors networks not connected to the communication hub; when a second communication network not connected to the communication hub satisfies a threshold, transmits causes the communication controller to steer the steerable antenna in a direction of the second communication network, further causing the communication hub to communicate and connect with the second communication network.

Aspects relate to a system for flight plan generation of an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. An exemplary system for flight plan generation includes a flight controller mounted on an eVTOL aircraft. The flight controller may be configured to receive a plurality of flight plan data and generate a flight plan for the aircraft as a function of the plurality of flight plan data.

An air vehicle control system (1) and method for operation of one or more air vehicles, AVs, (2) flying along flight routes (FR) assigned to the air vehicles, AVs, (2) by said air control system (1) according to a calculated flight route plan, FRP, within a predefined airspace, wherein an air flight guarding control unit (3) integrated in the air vehicle, AV, (2) is adapted to intervene automatically with flight controls of the air vehicle, AV, (2) on the basis of a monitored flight status of the air vehicle, AV, (2) such that the air vehicle, AV, (2) is kept during a flight movement within three—dimensional confines or boundaries of the assigned flight route (FR) and collisions with other air vehicles, AVs, (2) or with other obstacles are avoided.

A flight planning system for providing a flight planning tool comprises a memory device for storing flight information and one or more hardware processors configured to: receive a flight plan, access a calendar of events, determine events corresponding to dates associated with the flight plan, and provide a notification of the events on an interactive user interface.
