Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices are provided for providing flight response to flight-restricted regions. The location of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may be compared with a location of a flight-restricted region. If needed a flight-response measure may be taken by the UAV to prevent the UAV from flying in a no-fly zone. Different flight-response measures may be taken based on the distance between the UAV and the flight-restricted region and the rules of a jurisdiction within which the UAV falls.
Claims7
An unmanned aerial vehicle comprising:
- one or more processors individually or collectively configured to:
- assess a location of the unmanned aerial vehicle;
- calculate a position of the unmanned aerial vehicle relative to a flight-restricted region using the location of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the location of the flight-restricted region;
- assess a jurisdiction within which the flight-restricted region is located, based on the location of the flight-restricted region;
- access one or more flight restriction rules specific to the assessed jurisdiction;
- and
- instruct the unmanned aerial vehicle to take a flight response measure when the position of the unmanned aerial vehicle relative to the flight-restricted region falls under the one or more flight restriction rules of the jurisdiction;
- and
- one or more propulsion units in communication with the processor that permit the unmanned aerial vehicle to take the flight response measure.
