Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for coordinating an Unmanned Vehicle (UV) to perform authenticated delivery of goods. A method for coordinating a delivery may include instructing, via a communication network, a user device to collect user preferences on delivery logistics. The method may also include receiving the user preferences from the user device. The method may also include receiving user financial data from a financial service provider server. The method may also include receiving real-time information comprising location information of a UV and a user device. The method may also include authorizing the delivery of the package if an authentication process is satisfied based on the user preferences, the user financial data, and the real-time information. The method may also include transmitting to the UV a command to complete the delivery, if the delivery is authorized. The method may also include transmitting to the UV an abort command, if the delivery is not authorized.
