Abstract
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is described. The UAV includes functions such as geo-location-based approvals, targeted system updates and dynamic rule enforcements, authentical, internet protocol (IP) whitelisting, and application control. The functions are controlled from the firmware level. The functions may ensure a highly secure and controlled embedded system on the UAV in the event an application of the UAV is compromised by a third party. UEFI is used to provide a tamper proof way of enforcing permitted flights on authorized equipment.
