MUMBAI, India, April 20 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517130049 A) filed by Wing Aviation Llc, Palo Alto, U.S.A., on Dec. 22, 2025, for 'statistical estimation of local minimum flyable agls based on probabilities of planned flights intersecting terrain estimates.'
Inventor(s) include Yalamanchi, Sai, Bhargav; Abeywardena, Dinuka, Malin Wickramasinghe; Undurti, Aditya; Julian, Kyle, David; and Jones, Brandon, Lane.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A method comprises determining an occupancy grid of an area for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) navigation. The method further comprises determining, based on the occupancy grid, a candidate flyable airspace through which to permit UAV navigation and determining, by a UAV route planner, a plurality of UAV flight paths through the candidate flyable airspace. The method further comprises determining, based on the occupancy grid, a probability value of the plurality of UAV flight paths intersecting an occupied volume. The method additionally comprises determining whether the probability value of the plurality of UAV flight paths intersecting the occupied volume is below a threshold value and, based on determining that the probability value of the plurality of UAV flight paths intersecting the occupied volume is below the threshold value, validating the candidate flyable airspace for the UAV route planner to plan a route for a UAV to navigate through the area."
The patent application was internationally filed on Sept. 26, 2024, under International application No.PCT/US2024/048626.
