The system flies terrain with centimeter precision using onboard LIDAR, SONAR, and RADAR sensors at altitudes as low as 20 cm. The system achieves exact RTK GPS pinpoint location of targets within centimeters. The system also provides numerous mission-planning GUIs for tablets and smartphones.

US12586921 - Antenna array, artifical target system, method and computer program

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an antenna array arranged to control a radar response of a target, comprising multiple ultra wideband antennas, wherein each of said multiple antennas is coupled to a separate switch, and each switch is arranged to control one of said multiple antennas such that when said one antenna is connected to a load, preferably matched load, said one antenna acts as an absorber, and when said one antenna is electrically shorted, said one antenna acts as a reflector, wherein at least one of said multiple antennas is arranged to be electrically shorted at a first time instant and the at least one of said multiple antennas is arranged to be connected to a load, preferably matched load, at a second time instant, and at least one other of said multiple antennas is arranged to be connected to a load, preferably matched load, at the first time instant and the at least one other of said multiple antennas is arranged to be electrically shorted at the second time instant.

US12587740 - Sensor device and operating method thereof

A sensor device and an operating method thereof are provided. The sensor device includes a microcontroller and a sensor module. The microcontroller performs the operating method. Firstly, the sensor device enters a configuration mode after being activated. The sensor device enters a detection mode after a timeout period. The sensor device is on standby for detecting if any event occurs under the detection mode. When any event is detected, a trigger signal is generated, and the sensor device enters a broadcast mode to broadcast the trigger signal. After another timeout period, the sensor device enters the detection mode again, and is on standby for detecting if the event is restored to a default state. When the event is restored to the default state, the sensor device is reset for detecting if the event occurs.
