Title:
UNMANNED SENSOR PLACEMENT IN CLUTTERED TERRAIN
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2008150028
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a method for the unmanned sensor placement in a cluttered terrain.
An Unattended Ground Sensor (UGS) is accurately placed in a cluttered environment by using a vertical take-off and landing vehicle (VTOL). The VTOL maneuvers to a drop point, and hovers over or lands at the drop point. The VTOL deploys the UGS and provides the UGS with its position. Additionally, the VTOL may monitor the drop point before and after the deployment to verify drop point conditions and UGS functionality.
