Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for on-demand delivery of a payload by an unmanned vehicle. An unmanned vehicle may comprise a chamber configured to house a payload and adjust a payload state. The payload state may be adjusted based on detection of a tampering event. An unmanned vehicle may also comprise an authentication system configured to allow access to the payload.

A system for secure delivery via an unmanned vehicle, the system comprising:
- one or more memory units storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a request for on-demand delivery of a payload, the request being associated with a user profile;
- transmitting, to an unmanned vehicle, one or more instructions to:
- travel to a delivery destination with the payload, and deposit the payload into a chamber associated with a stationary housing;
- receiving results of an authentication process, the results comprising authentication input data and a request to gain access to the payload;
- and
- transmitting, based on the results, an instruction to the chamber to grant access to the payload.
