  • Efficient storage and architecture for strategic conflict detection in UAV operation management
    Patent number: 12775277
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a system for efficient coordination of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations by a first UAV service supplier (USS) in a geographic area within which the first USS and one or more third-party USSes operate UAVs is provided. The system comprises an interoperability computing system configured to perform actions comprising: receiving, by the interoperability computing system, a new operational intent from a rule engine of the first USS; retrieving, by the interoperability computing system, a set of relevant operational intents that are relevant to the new operational intent from a geographic information data store of the first USS; comparing, by the interoperability computing system, the new operational intent to each relevant operational intent of the set of relevant operational intents to detect conflicts; and in response to detecting no conflicts, transmitting, by the interoperability computing system, an approval request to a discovery and synchronization service (DSS).
