System for traffic management of unmanned aircraft

A computer implemented method for deconflicting small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) within a domain, the method comprising:

• receiving environmental data for a domain, the environmental data determined based on operational weather prediction models or weather observations;
• processing the environmental data through an atmospheric model of the domain to determine mesoscale and microscale weather forecast data for the domain and a positional uncertainty of a plurality of sUAS vehicles within the domain, wherein the mesoscale and microscale weather forecast data includes a wind field that is separated into a deterministic component and a stochastic component;
• generating a Weighted Graph that describes and spans a plurality of possible sUAS vehicle routes over the domain, wherein the Weighted Graph has dynamic edge weights that are determined based on the deterministic and stochastic components and the Weighted Graph defines uncertainty in future flight positions of the sUAS vehicles based on the stochastic component;
• determining a route and a corresponding flight schedule for at least one of sUAS vehicles within the domain based on the Weighted Graph;
• and
• providing the route and the corresponding flight schedule to the at least one of the sUAS vehicles;
• and
• controlling the at least one of the sUAS vehicles based on the route and the corresponding flight schedule.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media coupled to one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving environmental data for a domain, the environmental data determined based on operational weather prediction models or weather observations;
• processing the environmental data through an atmospheric model of the domain to determine mesoscale and microscale weather forecast data for the domain and a positional uncertainty of a plurality of small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) vehicles within the domain, wherein the mesoscale and microscale weather forecast data includes a wind field that is separated into a deterministic component and a stochastic component;
• generating a Weighted Graph that describes and spans a plurality of possible sUAS vehicle routes over the domain, wherein the Weighted Graph has dynamic edge weights that are determined based on the deterministic and stochastic components and the Weighted Graph defines uncertainty in future flight positions of the sUAS vehicles based on the stochastic component;
• determining a route and a corresponding flight schedule for at least one of sUAS vehicles within the domain based on the Weighted Graph;
• and
• providing the route and the corresponding flight schedule to the at least one of the sUAS vehicles, wherein the at least one of the sUAS vehicles is controlled based on the route and the corresponding flight schedule.
