1. A method comprising:

  • receiving at an unmanned aerial vehicle control system in an unmanned aerial vehicle that is implementing a first mission under control of a first user using a first user device, a request from a second user using a second user device for access to the unmanned aerial vehicle to perform an alternate mission;

    verifying in an authentication management module an identity of the second user;

    determining in an authorization management module, a determination of whether the second user is permitted to provide input to the unmanned aerial vehicle based on the alternate mission, identity of the second user, authentication of the second user and authorization of the second user;

    if the determination is made to grant access then receiving alternate mission parameters for the alternate mission from the second user device;

    accessing an environment subsystem having an unmanned aerial vehicle state module, an unmanned aerial vehicle environment module and a user environment module;

    accessing an artificial intelligence module that develops relationships between mission parameters to perform and improve assessments, diagnoses, simulations, forecasts, and predictions that form a mission profile;

    determining in a mission decision engine in the unmanned aerial vehicle control system a decision of whether to implement the alternate mission based on a set of predetermined policies, data from the artificial intelligence module a state of the unmanned aerial vehicle, information about where the unmanned aerial vehicle is operating, and information about where the second user is operating;

    if the decision is to implement the alternate mission then instructing the unmanned aerial vehicle control system to implement the alternate mission under control of the second user;

    saving the alternate mission parameters; and

    if the decision is not to implement the alternate mission, then continuing with the first mission.
