US Patent 12081536 Unmanned vehicle management systems and methods

This disclosure relates to systems and methods for managing the operation of unmanned vehicles within policy managed locations and/or areas. In some embodiments, an unmanned vehicle may issue an operator signed request to enter a policy managed area and/or use a certain sensor system within a policy managed area to an unmanned vehicle management system. The unmanned vehicle management system may verify the operator's identity and associated rights with a trusted authority, identify a policy associated with the policy managed area, and enforce the identified policy in connection with generating a response to the request. In this manner, the use of unmanned vehicles and/or associated systems may be managed in accordance with certain policies and/or rules associated with a particular operating location and/or area.
