This invention describes a system for managing drone flight paths using a network of ground stations. A drone first requests to declare its flight. Then, a network ground station calculates the drone's expected positions within a specific area covered by a group of these ground stations, rather than relying solely on the drone's full flight plan. This allows the network to actively track and manage the drone's movement within its immediate operational zone.
Why it matters: The increasing standardization of drone communication protocols and air traffic management interfaces since 2024 could simplify the integration of such a distributed network node system.
