Abstract: A marine monitoring system includes a control device 1 and at least one flight vehicle 2. The control device 1 includes: a sensor unit 13 that measures at least one of an underwater environment and a sea-surface environment to acquire marine data; a control unit 16 that controls the flight vehicle 2; and a communication unit 15 that receives above-water data measured by the flight vehicle 2. The flight vehicle 2 includes a sensor unit 24 that measures an above-water environment according to control of the control device 1 to acquire the above-water data, and a communication unit 21 that transmits the above-water data to the control device 1.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle (AV) delivery system is configured to deliver a payload or package in a rural and/or urban environment. The AV delivery system includes a first autonomous vehicle (AV). The first AV is configured to travel between a payload receiving location and a payload drop location. The AV delivery system further includes a second autonomous vehicle (AV) coupled to the first AV. The second AV is coupled to a payload and configured to travel between the first AV and a designated drop target adjacent to a ground or receiving surface at the payload drop location.
