Abstract: A flight range-restricting system is configured to control a flight range of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The flight range-restricting system includes a database including a UAV capabilities storage area that stores UAV capabilities data indicative of technical specifications of the UAV, and a restricted airspace storage area that stores restricted airspace data indicative of a restricted airspace. A range-restricting control unit is communicatively coupled to the database. The range-restricting control unit controls the flight range of the UAV based on a current location of the UAV, the UAV capabilities data, and the restricted airspace data.

Abstract: A flight plan analysis system is configured to determine a flight plan decision regarding a proposed flight plan for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The flight plan analysis system includes a flight plan database that stores risk factor data, and a flight plan analysis unit communicatively coupled to the flight plan database. The flight plan analysis unit receives a proposed flight plan for the UAV and determines the flight plan decision based on an analysis of the proposed flight plan and the risk factor data.
