Abstract

See full text

A system for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle may include a GNSS receiver, a transponder, one or more flight controls, a UAV operation module, a UAV mission module, and a UAV chassis. The system may include an operating area defined within an airspace and an airspace controller, and a transponder key issued to the UAV by the airspace controller. The airspace controller and the UAV may communicate to unlock UAV access of the operating area, including transmitting a transponder ID code for verification to the airspace controller; receiving a read certificate from the airspace controller; transmitting a mission plan to the airspace controller; receiving a mission key from the airspace controller; verifying the mission key via read back transmission to the airspace controller; and receiving a mission plan from the airspace controller in the form of the transponder key, the mission plan unlocking access to the operating area.
