Dynamically Adjusting UAV Flight Operations Based On Radio Frequency Signal Data

Abstract: in some implementations, a uav flight system can dynamically adjust uav flight operations based on radio frequency (rf) signal data. for example, the flight system can determine an initial flight plan for inspecting a rf transmitter and configure a uav to perform an aerial inspection of the rf transmitter. once airborne, the uav can collect rf signal data and the flight system can automatically adjust the flight plan to avoid rf signal interference and/or damage to the uav based on the collected rf signal data. in some implementations, the uav can collect rf signal data and generate a three-dimensional received signal strength map that describes the received signal strength at various locations within a volumetric area around the rf transmitter. in some implementations, the uav can collect rf signal data and determine whether a rf signal transmitter is properly aligned.
