    Abstract: A damage identification (DI) system for identifying property damage may include a drone fleet including several autonomous or semi-autonomous drones communicatively coupled together and a DI computing device. Each drone may collect drone-collected damage data, including image data. The DI computing may assign a geographical region to the drone fleet. The drone fleet may automatically navigate to, and then within, the geographical region to detect potential damage to properties. The DI computing device may further receive drone-collected damage data associated with a property within the geographical region from the drone fleet when the drone fleet determines the property is actually or potentially damaged, generate aggregated damage data associated with the property based at least partially upon the drone-collected damage data, and/or store the aggregated damage data in a blockchain structure associated with the property for damage assessment of the property.

    Abstract: A damage identification (DI) system is described for identifying property damage. The DI system includes a drone fleet having a plurality of drones configured to collect damage data, and a DI computing device. The DI computing device is configured to assign each drone to a respective subarea of a geographical region, where each drone is configured to navigate to the assigned subarea to detect damage to properties. The DI computing device is further configured to receive initial sensor data associated with a first property from a first drone of the plurality of drones, determine the first property is damaged based on the initial sensor data wherein the drone fleet navigates to the first property in response to the determination, receive drone-collected damage data associated with the first property from the drone fleet, and generate aggregated damage data associated with the first property based upon the drone-collected damage data.
