1. A system for regulating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), said system comprisingan authentication center configured to authenticate an identity of a UAV and an identity of a corresponding UAV user, wherein the authenticated UAV user is an owner and/or operator of its authenticated corresponding UAV;
- andan air control system configured to receive a UAV identifier for the authenticated UAV and a UAV user identifier for the authenticated corresponding UAV user, and provide a set of flight regulations based on the authenticated UAV identifier and the authenticated corresponding UAV user identifier, wherein the set of flight regulations regulate (1) flight plan of the UAV;
or (2) operation of one or more of a sensor, communication unit, payload, propulsion unit, or power supply on board of the UAV.
