Described herein, according to various aspects, are unmanned aerial systems (UAS) that can carry multiple layered modules on a mission. An exemplary UAS may include layered modules that contain functional components such as communication relay modules, armor, batteries, charging modules, propulsion modules, GPS modules, sensor modules, processors, databases, lights, explosive devices, electronic attack devices, payloads, flotation and/or buoyancy control devices, etc. The layered modules can be easily added and/or removed, which allows the UAS to be reconfigured to perform different missions without significantly modifying the structure of the UAS. The layered modules can be deployed at specific locations along a flight path of the UAS to perform location-dependent functionalities (e.g., surveillance of a target region). Multiple layered modules can be coupled to expand upon the payload capacity and the functionality of the UAS. Such an UAS can thus provide a versatile, multifunctional vessel for performing different autonomous missions for military and commercial applications.

Layered multi-module autonomous systems

Various embodiments are described that relate to an adaptive learning system. The adaptive learning system can be trained by correlation between a first set of raw technical performance data and a set of actual operational effectiveness assessment data. Once trained, the adaptive learning system can be deployed. Once deployed, the adaptive learning system can produce a set of predicted operational effectiveness assessment data from a second set of raw technical performance data that is different from the first set of raw technical performance data.

Method for predicting operational effectiveness

Various embodiments associated with a composite image are described. In one embodiment, a handheld device comprises a launch component configured to cause a launch of a projectile. The projectile is configured to capture a plurality of images. Individual images of the plurality of images are of different segments of an area. The system also comprises an image stitch component configured to stitch the plurality of images into a composite image. The composite image is of a higher resolution than a resolution of individual images of the plurality of images.

Technical performance data trained learning system

Provided are a system and method of interacting with a vehicle or a home control system. A context associated with a user input is obtained in relation to the vehicle or the home control system. An instruction based on the user input and the context is generated. The instruction is transmitted to the vehicle or the home control system to generate control or indication in connection with one of a component and a function of the vehicle or the home control system.

Integrated mobile device

Various embodiments associated with an interface that displays a visualization are described. In a combat or other environment, a great deal of information can be made available. In addition, this information can be compared against a metric of performance. This metric of performance could be qualitative or quantitative. In a complex environment, a relatively large amount of information can be gathered and it can be beneficial to produce an interface that enables a user to quickly understand the information with specific emphasis on how an entity related to the information is performing against the metric. The interface can include various features, such as time controls that allows for playback of previous information, measures of performance, and a structured tree view that illustrates hierarchical relationships of elements.

Visualization of a performance metric against a performance threshold

A projectile can be equipped with a camera and be configured to detonate after receiving a command to detonate. After the projectile is thrown the camera can capture images. These images can be sent by way of the physical link to the handheld device. The handheld device can display the images. A user of the handheld device can view the images and determine if the projectile should detonate based on the images.

Link between handheld device and projectile

Described are systems and methods, including computer program products for controlling an unmanned vehicle. A user controls one or more unmanned vehicles with a smart phone. The smart phone receives video stream from the unmanned vehicles, and the smart phone displays the controls from the unmanned vehicle over the video. The smart phone and the unmanned vehicle communicate wirelessly.

Teleoperation of unmanned ground vehicle

An improved services gateway environment is provided within a gateway framework. The improvement comprising a SIP service architecture that enables SIP entities to register with itself and translates such registrations into gateway aware registrations.

SIP service for home network device and service mobility

An event moderating architecture is provided for exporting event notification messages from an event publishing environment. The event moderating architecture includes: a mobile network device residing outside of the event publishing environment and operable to formulate a subscription request for receiving event notification messages; and an event moderation module adapted to receive the subscription request from the mobile network device and translate the subscription request into a subscription with the event publishing environment. The event moderation module receives a subset of event notification messages from the event publishing environment and forwards select event notification messages in accordance with the subscription request to the mobile network device.

Event moderation for event publishing environments

The trusted computer network is protected behind a gateway that includes a bastion host and screening router which blocks all URLs associated with the trusted network. The bastion host includes a remote client authentication mechanism and web proxy component that verifies and translates incoming URL requests from authenticated remote clients. Authentication is performed using one-time passwords that are stored on a portable storage device. The user configures the portable storage device by operating configuration software from the protected side of the gateway. The portable storage device also stores plug-in software to enable the client computer to properly retrieve the one-time password and exchange authentication messages with the bastion host. Further security is obtained by basing the one-time password on an encrypted version of the user's PIN. A symmetric key used to encrypt the PIN is stored in a protected area within the portable storage device.

Computer network security system employing portable storage device

In a video encoder/decoder, a method processes a discrete cosine transform (DCT) block of coefficients. The method receives a DCT block of coefficients, and linearizes the DCT block of coefficients into a one dimensional array of sequentially arranged coefficients. The method stores a portion of the one dimensional array of coefficients in a register, the portion including at least two sequentially arranged coefficients. The stored portion of coefficients in the register is processed. A next portion of coefficients in the one dimensional array is processed. This is repeated until the entire DCT block of coefficients have been loaded into the register. The processing may include computing a run length value, finding a class number, or determining dequantized coefficients of a DCT block.
