Abstract

Described is a system comprising (a) a UAS registry including a plurality of UAS accounts, (b) a plurality of UAS registration computing systems operable to create UAS accounts for the UAS registry, (c) a plurality of USS computing systems that each provide service to one of a plurality of service areas within an airspace, wherein each USS computing system is operable to: (i) receive, from UAS operators, operation data for UASs operating in the service area served by the USS computing system, (ii) receive, from the other USS computing systems for the airspace, operation data for UASs operating in the other service areas served the other USS computing systems, (iii) combine the operation data received from the UAS operators, with the operation data received from the other USS computing systems, to maintain an airspace-wide UAS database, and (iv) provide a publicly accessible application interface based on the UAS database.
