Abstract
Disclosed herein is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (“UAV”) capable of carrying modules of Sub Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (“Sub UAVs”). More particularly, a UAV may be capable of communicating via satellite and remote control technology, ejecting said Sub UAVs, flying in sequence in a coordinated manner with the Sub UAVs, and capable of engaging in multiple missions in high, medium, low altitude, and surface. Further, the Sub UAVs can be enabled to return back to the UAV after the mission is completed and be firmly secured to the flatbed of the UAV.
Claims1
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), comprising:
- a flatbed area on the exterior of the UAV configured to receive a plurality of other UAVs, wherein the flatbed area faces substantially upward while the UAV is in a flight orientation and wherein the flatbed area is dimensioned to enable another UAV of the plurality of other UAVs to land on the flatbed area while both the UAV and the other UAV are in flight;
- a communications system configured to communicate with one or more of the plurality of other UAVs via satellite;
- and
- a remote control system configured to send and receive command signals and/or communication signals to and from one or more data stations.
