Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for determining, by a processor, an unmanned aerial system position relative to at least one flight boundary; and effecting, by the processor, at least one flight limitation of a flight limiting device if the determined unmanned aerial system position crosses the at least one flight boundary.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by a processor having addressable memory, an error in a trajectory of an unmanned aerial system (UAS) that will cross at least one flight boundary within a set time, wherein the error is determined based on a position of the UAS;
- and
- effecting, by the processor, at least one flight limitation based on the determined error in the trajectory, wherein the effected at least one flight limitation prevents the UAS from entering a prohibited flight area.
A system comprising:
- a processor having addressable memory, the processor configured to:
- determine an error in a trajectory of an unmanned aerial system (UAS) that will cross at least one flight boundary within a set time, wherein the error is determined based on a position of the UAS;
- and
- effect at least one flight limitation of the UAS based on the determined error in the trajectory, wherein the effected at least one flight limitation prevents the UAS from entering a prohibited flight area.

A method comprising:
- attaching a processor having addressable memory to a first unmanned aerial system (UAS) having a first UAS processor and addressable memory, wherein the processor is detachably attached to the first UAS;
- detaching the processor from the first UAS;
- attaching the processor to a second UAS having a second UAS processor and addressable memory, wherein the processor is detachably attached to the second UAS;
- determining, by the processor, an error in a trajectory of the second UAS that will cross the at least one flight boundary within a set time, wherein the error is determined based on a position of the second UAS;
- and
- effecting, by the processor, at least one flight limitation based on the determined error in the trajectory, wherein the effected at least one flight limitation prevents the second UAS from entering a prohibited flight area.
