  • Publication number: 20240257648
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing drone activity cloud services to cloud consumers using cloud and edge computing are provided. The drone monitoring service is rendered by drone sensors detecting and identifying drones, cloud and edge servers aggregating drone activity data from sensors and UAS traffic management systems, and cloud consumers monitoring drone activities using cloud and edge devices to access the cloud. The drone data analytics service reports drone activity statistics, predicted drone activities, and abnormal behaviors to cloud consumers based on the statistics and behavior models obtained by machine learning and federated learning techniques. The drone mitigation service, when initiated by cloud consumers, determines how to optimally configure sensors and collaboratively send signals to deactivate unauthorized drones. Moreover, data processing, artificial intelligence, mobility support, and traffic management functional units empower cloud and edge servers to support these cloud services.
