Abstract
A processor-implemented method includes receiving, at a processor, from a transceiver and without human intervention, location data associated with a target. The processor receives, from the transceiver, product data for a resupply request referencing the target, the product data including at least one of a product type or a product quantity. The processor generates, without human intervention, unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV) mission data based on the location data and the product data, the UAV mission data including a representation of at least one UAV and flight path data for the at least one UAV. The UAV mission data is caused to transmit to at least one UAV controller to cause the at least one UAV controller to initiate navigation of the at least one UAV according to the UAV mission data.
