Abstract

See full text

A device receives a request for a flight path from a first location to a second location in a region. The request includes component information associated with components of UAVs in a group. The device calculates a most efficient flight path from the first location to the second location based weather information, air traffic information, obstacle information, or regulatory information associated with the region, and determines capability information for the UAVs in the group based on the component information. The device selects, from the UAVs in the group, a particular UAV that is capable of traversing the most efficient flight path based on the capability information, and generates flight path instructions for the most efficient flight path. The device provides the flight path instructions to the particular UAV to permit the particular UAV to travel from the first location to the second location via the most efficient flight path.
