Flight management system for UAVs

This invention describes a system for remotely managing and controlling multiple drones using standard cellular phone networks. Each drone has a sensor to detect its location and sends this data over the cellular network to a central control station. The control station then uses this information to track the drones and can send commands back to them, effectively using the existing cellular infrastructure for drone communication instead of specialized radio links. The claims specifically highlight that the cellular network should support a data rate of at least 42 megabits per second and that each drone can be uniquely identified.

Why it matters: Filed when 4G was dominant, the widespread maturity of 5G networks by 2026 offers significantly lower latency and higher bandwidth, making cellular-based UAV control more reliable and scalable for critical applications.
