This invention describes a way to achieve safer control of drones by securing the connection between a drone and its remote pilot. The drone verifies the pilot and their control station using a stored list of authorized users and passwords. This system also links the pilot, drone, and aviation safety authorities, with some communications potentially routed through a mobile phone network.
Why it matters: Filed before 4G/5G networks were widely deployed and reliable enough for critical drone control. The claims for mobile network integration and robust authentication are now more technically feasible and performant due to advancements in cellular communication and embedded cybersecurity since 2015.
