A computer-implemented method for locating a radar sensor includes obtaining a first radar scan of a first environment of the radar sensor, the first environment including a power range spectrum set including a first power range spectrum; extracting from the first radar scan a first landmark set including a first landmark defined by a range and an azimuth angle; calculating respective first descriptor sets including a first descriptor defining the first landmark by a respective relative range and azimuth angle with respect to one or more landmarks included in the first landmark set; accessing one or more landmark reference sets of each environment and calculating a descriptor reference set for each of the landmark reference sets; matching the first descriptor set with a corresponding first descriptor reference set; and identifying a first location of the radar sensor using a first result of the matching.

Drone release system from an underwater vehicle. The drone release system comprises: a plurality of capsules (6), each capsule (6) containing a drone and configured to rise to the surface of the water due to its buoyancy and to open once the capsule (6) has reached the surface of the water to release the drone; a magazine (8) for storing the capsules (6), the magazine (8) being in permanent fluidic communication with the outside so that the surrounding water fills the magazine (8) when the underwater vehicle (2) is submerged; and a retaining device (16) having a retaining configuration in which the retaining device (16) retains the capsules (6) in the magazine (8) and a release configuration in which the retaining device (16) releases a capsule (6) for its ascent to the surface of the water.

The invention relates to an aircraft carrier convenient for take-off and landing of an aircraft, which comprises a main body, and a buffer part which is coupled to the upper surface of the main body with a landing plate which is elastically retracted and extended, and which elastically buffers an impact force when the aircraft lands on the landing plate. Through the structure, the main body is combined with the landing plate which is elastically retracted and stretched out, so that the impact force during landing of the aircraft is effectively buffered, stable landing can be ensured, and the durability of the aircraft body can be remarkably improved.

The drone release system comprises: - a plurality of capsules (6), each capsule (6) containing a drone and being configured to rise to the surface of the water due to its buoyancy of the capsule (6) and to open once the capsule (6) has reached the surface of the water to release the drone, - a store (8) for storing the capsules (6), the store (8) being in permanent fluidic communication with the outside so that the surrounding water fills the store (8) when the underwater craft (2) is submerged, and - a retaining device (16) having a retaining configuration in which the retaining device (16) retains the capsules (6) in the store (8) and a release configuration in which the retaining device (16) releases a capsule (6) for its ascent to the surface of the water.

The invention relates to a zero-fuel infinite endurance nuclear power aircraft carrier which is characterized in that a sea water pump and a plurality of biogas digesters are arranged in a cabin of a huge wheel and a huge ship such as the aircraft carrier, a sea water pump pipe and a pump pipe suction head which can be immersed in sea water all the time are arranged at the low-position water inlet end of the sea water pump, and a coarse filter screen is arranged at an opening of the pump pipe suction head. Large, medium and small fishes can be filtered out, only small seawater organisms such as shrimps are allowed to be pumped into the biogas digesters, the biogas digesters serve as seawater seafood receiving ponds, standing decay gas production ponds and waste residue and waste liquid discharging ponds in turn, and it is ensured that continuous biogas is provided for the nuclear power replacing combustion chamber; therefore, water can be continuously boiled like a traditional nuclear power aircraft carrier, and endless power for infinite endurance can be provided for the aircraft carrier and a ship without consuming a drop of petroleum and nuclear fuel in the whole process. In reality, a lot of fermentation putrefaction odor or biogas pungent smell is caused. Slag liquid in the waste residue and waste liquid discharge pool is actually natural food of marine organisms like blue whale excrement, so that the slag liquid can be directly discharged to the sea through a slag liquid discharge pump.

To provide systems and methods for analyzing the utilization of aircraft within a fleet.SOLUTION: A system 100 comprises: flight data sources 102 that receive, from aircraft 104, flight data 105, which includes information regarding a flight time, landings and the like regarding each of the aircraft 104; and one or more control units 108 which receives flight data 110, which is compiled for a plurality of the aircraft 104 within a fleet 107, from a flight data aggregator sub-system 106, which is in communication with a plurality of the flight data sources 102 and collects, compiles and normalizes all the flight data 105 collected by the flight data sources 102. On the basis of the flight data 110 compiled for the plurality of the aircraft 104 within the fleet, the one or more control units 108 automatically determine the aircraft 104 utilization for the plurality of the aircraft 104 within the fleet.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

The invention relates to a versatile system for the secure handling of an aircraft (1) for vertical take-off and landing, which is provided with a skid-type landing gear comprising means (6) which form a motorized trolley for handling the aircraft (1), and further comprising means (10, 11) for gripping and lifting the landing gear of the aircraft in order to facilitate the handling thereof.
