GALE Secures U.S. Patent for Modular UAV Docking and Autonomous Data Collection System

IP Milestone — U.S. Patent Granted May 5, 2026

Gale Project Technologies has been officially granted U.S. Patent No. 12,617,564 B2 — "Remote Modular Data Collection and UAV Docking System and Method" — establishing the company's foundational IP position across drone infrastructure, autonomous monitoring, and edge-AI enabled response systems.

In addition, a ,continuance has been filed along with PCT International Filing.

The patent protects Gale's core platform architecture at the system and method level, covering both hardware and software-enabled operations across:

• Autonomous UAV docking, launch, recovery, and charging
• Modular, stackable sensor architecture with swappable mission profiles
• Onboard edge AI processing and closed-loop detection-to-response workflows
• Distributed pod networks deployable on existing infrastructure

This protection spans multiple high-growth markets including Drone as First Responder (DFR), counter-UAS, smart cities, critical infrastructure, defense, and disaster response.

By securing protection at the platform level rather than around individual features, Gale has established a defensible IP moat that extends across current and future product lines — including the company's Pinger micro drone detection device — without requiring core infrastructure to be redesigned.
