Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an un-manned aerial vehicle (200) for aligning a first directive antenna (101) in a direction D1 towards a second antenna (102), comprising a docking interface (210) arranged to attach the aerial vehicle (200) to a first alignment device (110) of the first directive antenna (101) and an alignment actuator (220) arranged to mechanically interface with the alignment device (110) and to actuate alignment of the first directive antenna (101) based on an alignment control signal. The aerial vehicle further comprises a control unit (230) configured to generate an alignment control signal.

An unmanned aerial vehicle for aligning a first directive antenna in a direction towards a second antenna, the aerial device comprising:
- a docking interface configured to attach the aerial vehicle to a first alignment device of the first directive antenna;
- an alignment actuator configured to mechanically interface with the alignment device and to actuate alignment of the first directive antenna based on an alignment control signal;
- and
- a control circuitry configured to generate the alignment control signal.
A method for aligning a first directive antenna in a direction towards a second antenna, the method comprising:
- attaching an unmanned aerial vehicle to a first alignment device of the first directive antenna;
- mechanically interfacing an alignment actuator, used in the aerial vehicle, with the alignment device;
- generating an alignment control signal;
- and
- actuating alignment of the first directive antenna based on the alignment control signal.
