Abstract: ABSTRACT A System and Method for Foldable Unmanned Aerial Forensic Investigation in GPS-Denied Environments This invention discloses the system and method of a folding unmanned aerial system which is designed for conducting forensics investigations in the absence of GPS. The system uses a foldable airframe equipped with a locking mechanism. The system includes a synchronized multisensory payload using LiDAR, visual, and thermal sensors, and an on-board processor. Data gathering by the system is through a multi-sensor approach based on hardware-triggered mechanisms, while the navigation process is achieved using hybrid SLAM. The on-board processor fuses data to develop a three-dimensional virtual twin in real-time. Fig. 3
