Abstract:
A method of performing deconfliction comprises receiving a request to accept a first operational intent associated with a first unmanned aircraft system, determining whether a conflict exists between the first operational intent and one or more scheduled operational intents, and if a conflict exists between the first operational intent and a second operational intent associated with a second unmanned aircraft system, transmitting data associated with the conflict to a first operator of the first unmanned aircraft system and a second operator of the second unmanned aircraft system, and transmitting information to the first and second operator allowing them to negotiate a resolution of the conflict. If a conflict does not exist, the first operational intent may be accepted. Bids may also be received for a right to utilize a volume of airspace at a particular time and the right may be granted to a highest bidder.
