A flight management system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), in which the UAV is equipped for cellular fourth generation (4G) flight control. The UAV carries on-board a 4G modem, an antenna connected to the modem for providing for downlink wireless RF. A computer is connected to the modem. A 4G infrastructure to support sending via uplink and receiving via downlink from and to the UAV. The infrastructure further includes 4G base stations capable of communicating with the UAV along its flight path. An antenna in the base station is capable of supporting a downlink to the UAV. A control centre accepts navigation related data from the uplink. In addition, the control centre further includes a connection to the 4G infrastructure for obtaining downlinked data. A computer for calculating location of the UAV using navigation data from the downlink.
A flight management system for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), comprising:
A flight data collection and distribution server (FDCDS) for collecting data from at least subscribing UAVs and from at least one supporting 4G cellular network and from air traffic control authorities, wherein said server also distributes data for users who are involved in at least planning of flight missions.
