Drone Compliance Standards

A data collection system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to improve flight safety and prevent loss of UAVs. The system collects flight data, geographical data, and monitors for failures during UAV operation. It uses neural networks to analyze flight data to detect abnormalities and failures. It also collects geographical data to improve landing point accuracy. If abnormalities are detected or a failure occurs, the system initiates a return sequence. This prevents UAVs from exceeding control distances or crashing due to operator error or malfunctions.

Monitoring drone flights to detect unauthorized flights (aka "black flights") that have not been registered or approved. The monitoring involves comparing the known flight plans of registered drones against real-time drone locations. If a drone is detected flying outside its approved plan, it is flagged as a black flight. The monitoring is performed by supervision base stations that provide slicing services to drones. If a drone is flying black, the base station does not provide slicing to prevent it from using its services. This forces the drone to land or return to a legal flight path.

Monitoring method for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) missions to improve success rate by predicting and mitigating risks during flight. The method involves determining factors and thresholds affecting UAV tasks, like environmental, equipment, and personnel factors. It collects real-time data on these factors during flight and uses prediction models to forecast future values. If forecasts exceed thresholds, it generates early warnings with improvement suggestions. If thresholds are not exceeded, it uses an evaluation algorithm to calculate a monitoring report based on the forecasts, weights, and operator quality. This provides proactive risk assessment and recommendations throughout the mission.
