Abstract
A device receives a request for a mission that includes traversal of a flight path and performance of mission operations, and presents a first user interface that requests mission information. The device receives the mission information, and determines recommended UAVs for the mission based on the mission information. The device presents information associated with the recommended UAVs, and receives a selection of a particular UAV via the first user interface. The device determines recommended mission plans based on the mission information and the particular UAV, and presents the recommended mission plans via a second user interface. The device receives a selection of a particular mission plan via the second user interface, and generates mission plan instructions for the particular mission plan. The device provides the mission plan instructions to the particular UAV to permit the particular UAV to travel the flight path and perform the mission operations.
