Abstract:
An obstacle-avoidance system for a vehicle, the obstacle-avoidance system may comprise: a communication device; a plurality of sensors, the plurality of sensors configured to detect collision threats within a predetermined distance of the vehicle; and a processor. The processor may communicatively couple to the communication device and the plurality of sensors and configured to receive navigation commands being communicated to a control system via said communication device. The processor may also receive, from at least one of said plurality of sensors, obstruction data reflecting the position of an obstruction. Using the obstruction data, the processor identifies a direction for avoiding said obstruction. In response, the processor may output, via said communication device, a derivative command to said control system causing the vehicle to travel in said flight direction.

Claim (Index 1):
A collision-avoidance system for an aerial vehicle having a flight-control system, the collision-avoidance system comprising:\n one or more sensors to detect collision threats within a field of view of the one or more sensors of the aerial vehicle; and a processor communicatively coupled with each of the one or more sensors;\n wherein the processor is configured to generate, using at least one of said one or more sensors, obstruction data reflecting a position of a collision threat; \n wherein the processor is configured to receive a navigation command from the flight-control system; \n wherein the processor is configured to generate, based at least in part on the obstruction data, a derivative command by attenuating the navigation command as a function of the position of the collision threat; and \n wherein the processor is configured to communicate the derivative command to the flight-control system to cause the aerial vehicle to deviate from the flight path to avoid the collision threat.
