1. A drone traffic management system comprising a roving sector drone for controlling a flight path of another drone, said roving sector drone comprising an on-board computer comprising:

  • memory means for storingorigin coordinates indicating an origin location of a drone,destination coordinates indicating a destination location of the drone, andtraffic management factors located between the origin location of the drone and the destination location of the drone; and

    processing means for controlling a flight path of the drone bycalculating an initial flight path for the drone to fly automatically from the origin location to the destination location without manual intervention,sending the initial flight path to the drone,continuously revising the flight path of the drone by repeating, until the drone reaches its destination, the steps of;

    receiving location data of the drone as it travels from the origin location to the destination,calculating a revised flight path of the drone as a function of the traffic management factors and the location data of the drone, andsending the revised flight path to the drone.
