IDENTIFYING UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES FOR MISSION PERFORMANCE
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a device, a request for a mission that includes traversal of a flight path from a first geographical location to a second geographical location and performance of one or more mission operations;
calculating, by the device, the flight path from the first geographical location to the second geographical location based on the request;
determining, by the device, required capabilities for the mission based on the request;
identifying, by the device and from a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles, particular unmanned aerial vehicles based on the required capabilities for the mission;
generating, by the device, flight path instructions for the flight path and mission instructions for the one or more mission operations; and
providing, by the device, the flight path instructions and the mission instructions to the particular unmanned aerial vehicles to permit the particular unmanned aerial vehicles to travel from the first geographical location to the second geographical location, via the flight path, and to perform the one or more mission operations.

Abstract
A device receives a request for a mission that includes traversal of a flight path from a first location to a second location and performance of mission operations, and calculates the flight path from the first location to the second location based on the request. The device determines required capabilities for the mission based on the request, and identifies UAVs based on the required capabilities for the mission. The device generates flight path instructions for the flight path and mission instructions for the mission operations, and provides the flight path/mission instructions to the identified UAVs to permit the identified UAVs to travel from the first location to the second location, via the flight path, and to perform the mission operations at the second location.
