1. A system comprising:
- one or more articles of manufacture includingcircuitry for obtaining operator input from an operator of a first unmanned aerial device as an earlier input component;
circuitry for obtaining environmental sensor input from a vicinity of the first unmanned aerial device as a later input component; and
circuitry for signaling a decision without regard to any other operator input whether or not to launch the first unmanned aerial device partly based on the operator input from the operator of the first unmanned aerial device obtained as the earlier input component and partly based on the environmental sensor input from the vicinity of the first unmanned aerial device obtained as the later input component.

56. A method comprising:
-
obtaining operator input from an operator of a first unmanned aerial device as an earlier input component; obtaining environmental sensor input from a vicinity of the first unmanned aerial device as a later input component; and invoking circuitry configured for signaling a decision without regard to any other operator input whether or not to launch the first unmanned aerial device partly based on the operator input from the operator of the first unmanned aerial device obtained as the earlier input component and partly based on the environmental sensor input from the vicinity of the first unmanned aerial device obtained as the later input component. - View Dependent Claims (57)

58. An article of manufacture comprising:
-
one or more physical media configured to bear a device-detectable implementation of a method including at least obtaining operator input from an operator of a first unmanned aerial device as an earlier input component; obtaining environmental sensor input from a vicinity of the first unmanned aerial device as a later input component; and signaling a decision without regard to any other operator input whether or not to launch the first unmanned aerial device partly based on the operator input from the operator of the first unmanned aerial device obtained as the earlier input component and partly based on the environmental sensor input from the vicinity of the first unmanned aerial device obtained as the later input component. - View Dependent Claims (59)
