Multiple environment unmanned vehicle

DWPI Title: Unmanned vehicle for multiple environment unmanned vehicle system, has central platform that has a control unit, drive system, power supply and payload, where mobility attachments are attached to central platform
Abstract: A MEUV that is able to navigate aerial, aquatic, and terrestrial environments through the use of different mission mobility attachments is disclosed. The attachments allow the MEUV to be deployed from the air or through the water prior to any terrestrial navigation. The mobility attachments can be removed or detached by and from the vehicle during a mission.
Use: Unmanned vehicle, such as flying drones for multiple environment unmanned vehicle system (Claimed). Can also be used for military and civilian applications.
Advantage: The mobility attachments are attached to the central platform, where the mobility attachments are selected from a group, which consists of an aerial configuration kit, an aquatic configuration kit and a land configuration kit, and thus enables to provide aerodynamic stability of the unmanned vehicle and reduces drag to the unmanned vehicle aerial configuration of vehicle.
Novelty: The unmanned vehicle (10) comprises a central platform that has a control unit, a drive system, a power supply and a payload. The mobility attachments are attached to the central platform. The mobility attachments are selected from a group, which consists of an aerial configuration kit, an aquatic configuration kit and a land configuration kit. A separation system is selected from a group consists of a mechanical release system, a gas release system, an explosive system, an airbag system and a dissolved materials system. Multiple propulsion planes are included in the aquatic configuration kit.
