A method may include receiving, from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a first message via a first network using User Datagram Protocol (UDP). The method may further include determining whether a second message that is identical to the first message has been received from the UAV via a second network that is different than the first network. The method may additionally include processing the first message when the second message has not been received and discarding the first message when the second message has been received.

Multipathing for unmanned aerial vehicle traffic

A device may include a memory and a processor. The device may receive, from a ground control station (GCS) associated with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), credentials associated with a user. The device may determine whether the GCS has been registered and determine, in response to determining that the GCS has been registered, whether the UAV has been registered. The device may present, in response to determining that the UAV has been registered, a list of UAVs the user is authorized to operate and receive selection of a particular UAV from the list of UAVs.
