Abstract: A device can be configured to detect a physical connection with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight controller through an interface. The device can identify a UAV identifier associated with the UAV flight controller and determine, based on the UAV identifier, an application programming interface (API) for communicating with the UAV flight controller. Using the API, the device can establish a communications link with the UAV flight controller and perform an action based on the communications link.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may include a communication interface and a pressure sensor configured to measure barometric pressure. The UAV may also include a processor configured to generate a request for elevation data and barometric pressure data and transmit, via the communication interface, the request to the at least one other device. The processor may also be configured to receive, from each of the at least one other device, elevation data and barometric pressure data, and estimate the elevation of the UAV based on the measured barometric pressure, the received elevation data and the received barometric pressure data.

Abstract: A method may include receiving an identifier (ID) from a first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) prior to a flight, storing the ID and receiving telemetry information from the first UAV during the flight. The method may also include storing the telemetry information, receiving a request from a user device for information associated with a first location and authenticating the user device. The method may further include determining whether at least one UAV is flying in an area associated with the first location and transmitting telemetry information associated with the at least one UAV, in response to determining that at least one UAV is flying in the area associated with the first location.

Abstract: A device can be configured to receive flight data associated with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), at least some of the flight data being received from the UAV; store the flight data; receive, from a requesting device, a flight data request, the flight data request including information identifying the UAV or a flight of the UAV; determine response data based on the flight data request and based on an entity associated with the requesting device, the response data including a subset of the flight data, which is available to be accessed by the entity; and perform an action associated with the response data.

Abstract: An example device includes one or more memories; and one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, to receive a request to authorize a flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), wherein the UAV is locked by a locking mechanism until the flight is authorized and the request includes flight information that identifies a location of the flight, and a pilot identifier of a pilot of the flight; obtain a pilot certification of the pilot based on the pilot identifier; identify a first flight regulation of a flight regulation system, wherein the first flight regulation includes information identifying a threshold pilot certification to pilot the UAV at the location; determine whether the pilot certification of the pilot satisfies the threshold pilot certification to pilot the UAV at the location; and when the pilot certification of the pilot satisfies the threshold pilot certification to pilot the UAV at the location, provide a key to unlock the UAV to permit the flight of the UAV to commence.
