Abstract
Systems and methods for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and control are provided. A UAV may include a swashplateless and hinged propulsion system, and a rotating payload system including an ISR device, a wind sensor, explosive charge and an atmospherics and/or CBRN sensor. A UAV flight controller may include a motion, compass, visual and gyroscopic (MCVG) or other gravitational forces sensor, a communications module configured to communicate with a UAV, and a flight module. The flight module may be configured to receive flight data from the UAV and generate flight control instructions based at least on the flight data and data received from the MCVG sensor. The flight control instructions may be operable to pilot the UAV based on movement of the UAV flight controller in 3D space.
