Abstract: A system for managing UAVs includes a first relay that performs mission management on a first UAV; a first conduit, corresponding to a first geographical area, that manages communication between the first UAV and first relay when the first UAV is located in the first geographical area; a first web server that enables user interfacing with the first UAV; and a pre-flight insurance tap that generates an insurance quote for a mission of the first UAV when an instance of the pre-flight insurance tap is called by the first relay.

Abstract: A system for managing a first and second UAV includes a first relay that performs mission management on the first UAV, a second relay that performs mission management on the second UAV, a first conduit, corresponding to a first geographical area, that manages communication between the first UAV and first relay when the first UAV is located in the first geographical area and manages communication between the second UAV and second relay when the second UAV is located in the first geographical area; and a first web server, communicatively coupled to the first and second relay, that enables user interfacing with the first UAV and the second UAV.
