Abstract
A device may include a memory and a processor. The device may receive, from a ground control station (GCS) associated with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), credentials associated with a user. The device may determine whether the GCS has been registered and determine, in response to determining that the GCS has been registered, whether the UAV has been registered. The device may present, in response to determining that the UAV has been registered, a list of UAVs the user is authorized to operate and receive selection of a particular UAV from the list of UAVs. The device may facilitate operational activities of the particular UAV.
