Collision targeting for hazard handling
First Claim
1. A base station machine configured to communicate with at least one unoccupied flying vehicle (UFV), the base station machine comprising:
- one or more electronic devices including at least;
circuitry configured for ascertaining at least one target for at least one collision to include a UFV including at least;
circuitry configured for obtaining an indication of the at least one target for the at least one collision;
circuitry configured for obtaining at least one characteristic of the at least one collision;
circuitry configured for ascertaining at least one consequence of the at least one collision; and
circuitry configured for selecting the at least one target for the at least one collision based at least partially on the at least one characteristic of the at least one collision; and
circuitry configured for transmitting at least one command to execute at least one maneuver to divert the UFV at least toward the at least one target to induce the at least one collision to include the UFV and the at least one target.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are example embodiments for collision targeting for hazard handling. For certain example embodiments, at least one machine, such as a base station, may: (i) ascertain at least one target for at least one collision to include an unoccupied flying vehicle (UFV); or (ii) transmit at least one command to execute at least one maneuver to divert a UFV at least toward at least one target to induce at least one collision to include the UFV and the at least one target. However, claimed subject matter is not limited to any particular described embodiments, implementations, examples, or so forth.
