Vehicle-to-UAV Telemetry for Autonomous Escort and Aerial Reconnaissance

V2UAV establishes the communication fabric between passenger vehicles, first responders, and deployed aerial drones, providing situational awareness over hilltops, around blind curves, and through catastrophic roadblocks.

A Periscope in the Sky: Elevating Ground Vehicle Perception

Ground autonomous vehicles are constrained by occlusion from tall trucks, vegetation, and terrain. V2UAV deploys synchronized drone flights that stream bird's-eye LiDAR point clouds directly into the vehicle's compute cluster.

Core Engineering Areas

• Air-to-Ground PC5 Propagation Modeling — Characterizing the 5.9 GHz radio channel between roof-mounted automotive antennas and ascending drones.
• Aerial Sensor Extension Field-of-View — Fusing drone optical and LiDAR data into the ground vehicle's local world model.
• First-Responder Vehicle-to-Drone Cooperative Relay — Deploying autonomous scout drones from fire engines and police cruisers upon arrival at incident scenes.
