Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments for providing a trusted autonomy framework for unmanned aerial systems. One embodiment of a method includes receiving a request from an entity to participate in secure data sharing within the trusted autonomy framework for unmanned aerial systems, receiving a type of data that will be shared via the entity, and verifying an identity of the entity, a security infrastructure of the entity, and validating the data to be shared. In some embodiments, in response to verifying, accepting the entity into the trusted autonomy framework for unmanned aerial systems.

Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for managing airspace for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The apparatus, system and method may include a platform comprising at least records of certified administratively acceptable requestors of restricted use of the airspace for UAVs, a plurality of airspace management rules for UAVs, and a broadcaster for providing notifications over at least one telecommunications network; and a plurality of applications, each instantiated by a processor on one of a plurality of corresponded devices by non-transitory computing code, wherein the plurality of corresponded devices comprises at least a plurality of mobile devices. A first of the plurality of applications may be capable of receiving the restricted UAV use request from a requestor within a physical area of the restricted UAV use request, and of forwarding the restricted UAV use request and an identification of the requestor to the platform over the at least one telecommunications network.
