Unmanned Aerial Vehicle And Controller Communication

This invention describes a way for a drone to establish a secure communication channel with its controller. Initially, the drone receives a command from its controller, which is relayed through a central air traffic management system, specifically detailing movement time and type. After the drone sends a response, a dedicated, secure communication tunnel is created between the drone and its controller for all subsequent interactions.

Why it matters: Filed when UTM systems were still largely conceptual or in early trials. The increasing regulatory clarity and operational demand for complex BVLOS and urban air mobility drone operations by 2026 make robust, secure, and UTM-integrated communication tunnels a more pressing and viable requirement.
