Latest Patents
One of Clay Armstrong's latest patents involves systems and related methods employing directed energy and machine learning operable for enabling or protecting from non-destructive degradation or disruption of electro-optic(s) or sensors. Various embodiments can include artificial learning counter surveillance (ALCS) or self-protection surveillance systems (SPSS) and related methods. The apparatuses and methods can include non-destructive electro-optic interference or protection systems as well as non-destructive directed energy systems. This innovation also features a control system and an analysis system for determining an optical system of interest and generating degradation or disruption effects using various equipment items and machine learning systems. Additionally, methods are provided for determining the degree of severity of degradation or disruption based on threshold definitions related to the ability to use the optical system of interest for one or more specified applications.
Another significant patent by Armstrong is related to plug and play modular mission payloads. This application discloses plug and play modular mission payloads in the context of aerial vehicles, along with a supporting open system architecture that shifts the control function of mission payloads away from the ground station and into the aerial vehicle. The plug-and-play (PnP) modular mission payloads and web-based payload interface software reside in a payload computer in the vehicle, which is networked via a uniform resource locator (URL) addressing scheme to a ground control station. Consequently, when new payload types are added to the system, integration issues and costs are minimized.
