    Abstract: An aerial drone parcel delivery/transfer management server (ADPTMS) is configured for facilitating flexible management of aerial drone parcel deliveries to or transfers between aerial drone landing pads (ADLPs). Each ADLP has a corresponding ADLP address that includes a unique ADLP identifier (e.g., a manufacturing serial number); current or most-recently known ADLP geolocation data (e.g., 2D or 3D geospatial coordinates); and possibly current or most-recently known ADLP elevation data. The ADPTMS can communicate with order management/fulfillment servers associated with online stores, which can communicate with aerial drone parcel delivery/transfer services for dispatching aerial drones to particular ADLP addresses as part of fulfilling online orders. An ADLP can present a machine readable code such as a quick response (QR) code thereon (e.g., on a landing mat) that can be captured by an aerial drone and processed to verify the ADLP's identity. An ADLP can output local RF guiding signals and/or local optical guiding signals (e.g., infrared signals) to aid aerial drone navigation to the ADLP.

    Abstract: The described embodiments provide systems and methods for any type, usage, classification of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) policing including but limited; detection, compliance to FAA (local, state, federal and global) enforcement and various operational guidelines. The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Enforcement (UAVE) includes but is not limited to operational and airworthiness guidance for the operation of plurality approved routes and/or route restriction, methods, procedures, Global Positioning Systems, registration (ownership), authorization, cargo and usage approval, breadcrumb trail of flight Departure(s) Procedures and Coordinates (DPCs), and Standard Arrival Procedures and Coordinates (SAPCs) and other systems. UAVE could include for example; one or more UAV and/or operators, enforcement agencies, convergence or divergent systems, CAD systems and performance criteria required for enforcement, application(s), administration, implementation and prosecution. FAA or other governmental UAVE systems could include any software, hardware UAV devices, sensors, communication transmissions and controls, operations, navigation, fining and fees, apprehension and disabling methods and technologies which aid law enforcement.
