1. An unoccupied flying vehicle (UFV) comprising:
- one or more electronic devices configured for autonomously controlling the UFV, the one or more electronic devices including at least;
circuitry configured for obtaining at least one indication of at least one hazard associated with at least one mission including at least the UFV and at least one remote UFV;
circuitry configured for autonomously analyzing the at least one indication of at least one hazard associated with at least one mission including at least the UFV and at least one remote UFV;
circuitry configured for autonomously formulating at least one request for one or more flight attributes indicative of one or more flight capabilities of the at least one remote UFV based at least partially on the autonomous analysis of the at least one indication of at least one hazard associated with at least one mission including at least the UFV and at least one remote UFV;
circuitry configured for sending the autonomously formulated at least one request for one or more flight attributes indicative of one or more flight capabilities of the at least one remote UFV;
circuitry configured for receiving the one or more flight attributes indicative of one or more flight capabilities of the at least one remote UFV transmitted in response to the at least one request;
circuitry configured for determining at least one flight path adjustment corresponding to the at least one mission including the UFV and at least one remote UFV based at least partially on the received one or more flight attributes and based at least partially on the autonomous analysis of the at least one indication of at least one hazard associated with at least one mission including at least the UFV and at least one remote UFV; and
circuitry configured for adjusting at least one flight path of at least the UFV based at least partially on the determined at least one flight path adjustment.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are example embodiments for unoccupied flying vehicle (UFV) inter-vehicle communication for hazard handling. For certain example embodiments, at least one machine may: (i) receive one or more flight attributes from a remote UFV, with the one or more flight attributes indicative of one or more flight capabilities of the remote UFV; or (ii) adjust a flight path of a UFV based at least partially on one or more flight attributes received from a remote UFV. However, claimed subject matter is not limited to any particular described embodiments, implementations, examples, or so forth.
