AeroVironment had two patents in space economy during Q4 2023. A system and method for transmitting still images and video feed from an unmanned aerial vehicle to a ground station, allowing for the selection of the ratio of video stream images to still images to be transmitted. The system includes an aircraft with a digital video camera, video encoder, file server, multiplexer, and transmitter for sending data to the ground station, which then demultiplexes the packets for separate video and image data transmission.

Application: System and method of high-resolution digital data image transmission (Patent ID: US20230396827A1)
The patent filed by AeroVironment Inc. describes a system and method for transmitting still images and video feed from an unmanned aerial vehicle to a ground station. The system includes an aircraft with a digital video camera, a video encoder, a file server, a multiplexer, and a transmitter for sending data transmission to the ground station. The ground station receives the data transmission, demultiplexes the packets, and can select the ratio of video stream images to still images to be transmitted from the aircraft.
The claims of the patent describe a system for receiving multi-format data over a bandwidth-limited connection with a remote system. The system includes a data link, a demultiplexer, a decoder, and a file reconstructor. The demultiplexer receives the multiplexed transmission, separates the first and second packets of data, while the decoder assembles the first packets into a stream of data based on the allocated bandwidth. The file reconstructor reconstructs the second packets of data, ensuring uninterrupted transmission of data based on the specified ratio of formats.
