Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for unmanned aerial vehicle modular command priority determination and filtering system. One of the methods includes enabling control of the UAV by a first control source that provides modular commands to the UAV, each modular command being a command associated with performance of one or more actions by the UAV. Modular commands from a second control source requesting control of the UAV are received. The second control source is determined to be in control of the UAV based on priority information associated with each control source. Control of the UAV is enabled by the second control source, and modular commands are implemented.

Abstract: A method for operating an at least temporarily unmanned aircraft, wherein a flight is performed according to a prior flight plan in an airspace controlled by a control instance. A flight direction is determined during the flight via a control device influenced via a data connection by a control instance. The data connection is temporarily unavailable, and a hazardous or emergency situation requiring deviation from the flight plan, is identified by the control device based on first sensor data. An avoidance route is determined by the control device based on a second sensor data, the avoidance route including a avoidance manoeuvre avoiding the hazardous or emergency situation, the avoidance route is used in the meantime to fly towards a destination area with the least possible volume of air traffic; and the necessary avoidance manoeuvre(s) are performed based on the second data by the control device in an autonomous staggering procedure.

Abstract: In some examples, an aerial vehicle may determine, based on sensor information received from at least one onboard sensor, that an amount of light fails to satisfy a light threshold. Based at least in part on determining that the amount of light fails to satisfy the light threshold, the aerial vehicle is caused to takeoff at a specified trajectory and a specified acceleration for enabling navigation via an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a satellite positioning system. Further, the aerial vehicle is directed to navigate an environment based at least on determining a relative heading of the aerial vehicle from information received from the IMU and information received from the satellite positioning system.
