MUMBAI, India, July 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611034437 A) filed by Seven Rounds Defender Private Limited on March 22, 2026, for System And Method For Autonomous High-Speed Close-Proximity Drone Operations In Rf-Degraded Environments.

Inventors include Yash Mudgal; and Sahaj Rastogi.

The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.

Abstract: [0071] A low-cost autonomous UAV terminal-phase guidance system (100) comprises three integrated components: (i) an onboard Neural Processing Unit (NPU) (122) executing a real-time YOLO-based target tracker on a MIPI camera (112) feed; (ii) a hybrid MIPI-to-CVBS digital-to-analog video bridge (126) that overlays AI-generated bounding-box annotations onto a 5.8 GHz analog VTX (132) signal, providing continuous operator situational awareness even under complete digital RF link loss and eliminating the cliff- effect blackout of digital-only systems; and (iii) a novel inertia-cancelling Modified Tail-Chaser autonomous steering algorithm (332) that eliminates the orbit effect at high forward speeds by continuously computing and applying a momentum-compensated lateral correction bias to the standard pursuit command, enforcing straight-line convergence at speeds of 70 km/h or higher.
