Very low level operations coordination platform

A Very Low Level Operations Coordination Platform comprising a cloud-based software platform that serves as a central database application for drone-related applications, the central database application comprising a database storing any, some or all of airspace structure, drone legislation, system information of drones, data identifying drone users, no-fly-zones, scheduled flights, planned flights and flights flown,

• wherein if a drone fails to remain within reserved airspace the platform is adapted to proactively intervene in flight operations so that the drone cannot leave the reserved airspace, the platform being adapted to communicate with a drone via a cellular wireless network or a satellite system, wherein the platform is adapted to control the drone in three dimensions if the drone intends to leave the reserved airspace by connecting with an on-board autopilot function and transmitting commands thereto.

A drone, having a processor on-board as well as basic systems required to communicate with a cellular mobile system including a processor, antennas, transceiver for transmission and reception, being able to register on any available network, location update and the transmission and reception of the short message service wherein the cellular mobile system is a cellular mobile telephone system.

A method of Very Low Level Operations Coordination comprising the steps of:

• maintaining a central database application for drone-related applications, the central database application comprising a database storing any, some or all of airspace structure, drone legislation, system information of drones, data identifying drone users, no-fly-zones, scheduled flights, planned flights and flights flown, wherein if a drone fails to remain within reserved airspace the platform is adapted to proactively intervene in flight operations so that the drone cannot leave the reserved airspace, and communicating with a drone via a cellular wireless network or a satellite system, wherein the platform is adapted to control the drone in three dimensions if the drone intends to leave the reserved airspace by connecting with an on-board autopilot function and transmitting commands thereto.

A Very Low Level Operations Coordination Platform comprising a cloud-based software platform that serves as a central database application for drone-related applications, the central database application comprising a database storing any, some or all zones which defines where drones are and are not allowed to fly based on all required information such as but not limited to drone legislation, airspace structure, obstacles, environment and people density, taking into account scheduled flights, planned flights and flights flown of other drones, wherein if the drone fails to remain within the approved fly zone the platform is adapted to proactively intervene in flight operations so that the drone cannot leave the approved fly zone, the platform being adapted to communicate with a drone via any cellular wireless network or a satellite system, wherein the platform is adapted to control the drone in three dimensions if the drone intends to leave the reserved airspace by connecting with an on-board autopilot function and transmitting commands thereto.
