UAVS, INCLUDING MULTI-PROCESSOR UAVS WITH SECURED PARAMETERS, AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS

摘要

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including multi-processor UAVs with secured parameters, and associated systems, devices, and methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a UAV includes a flight controller configured to control flight operations of the UAV based at least in part on system parameters provided to the UAV. The UAV can additionally include an oversight processor configured to (i) monitor operations of the flight controller and (ii) intercede when the oversight processor determines the flight controller is operating in violation of the system parameters. In some embodiments, the system parameters are secured (e.g., digitally signed and/or encrypted) and provided to the UAV. In these and other embodiments, the UAV is configured to verify the secure systems parameters and/or to autonomously execute a flight plan after verifying the system parameters. In some embodiments, the system parameters define an operational envelope specifying airspace to which autonomous flight of the UAV is constrained.
