Multi-architecture modular unmanned aerial system

An aerial vehicle system comprising:

• a fuselage module comprising a first attachment interface, a flight controller operatively coupled with a power unit, and a communications system operatively coupled with the flight controller;
• and
• a lift generation module comprising a second attachment interface and a plurality of propulsors,
• wherein the fuselage module is configured to removably couple with the lift generation module via the first and second attachment interfaces,
• wherein the first and second attachment interfaces comprise (1) a plurality of electrical contacts to facilitate electrical communication between the fuselage module and the lift generation module and (2) one or more retention devices to couple structurally the lift generation module with said fuselage module,
• wherein the fuselage module is configured to employ a predetermined flight operation plan as a function of the lift generation module.

A method for improving an operational capability of an aerial vehicle system, the method comprising:

• providing a fuselage module comprising a first attachment interface, a flight controller operatively coupled with a power unit, and a communications system operatively coupled with the flight controller;
• and
• providing a lift generation module comprising a second attachment interface and a plurality of propulsors,
• wherein the fuselage module is configured to removably couple with the lift generation module via the first and second attachment interfaces,
• wherein the first and second attachment interfaces comprise (1) a plurality of electrical contacts to facilitate electrical communication between the fuselage module and the lift generation module and (2) one or more retention devices to couple structurally the lift generation module with said second attachment interface,
• wherein the fuselage module is configured to receive service history information from the lift generation module.
