These are more use cases targeted for a commercial drone fleet management software that scales elastically and helps drones manage their flight path in real-time.

Case 4: As drone manufacturers make incredible progress in the scope and purpose of drone activities, they would like to outsource software targeting repeated drills across models and versions of their drones including abilities to plugin customizations for enhanced intelligence. These drone manufacturers are experimenting with a variety of shapes, compositions and degrees of freedom both individually and collectively for formations and their ability to overcome obstacles. A cloud software that can be reached ubiquitously by drones themselves or relayers will be cost-effective in maximizing the output of these drones. Among the features expected by the manufacturers are ability to repeat tests, maintain test history,  and generate test reports. A single transparent pane of glass for observability and manageability of the drones along with these reports and dashboards will be very helpful to them for updating their drones.  Initially the size of the fleets for most of these manufactures might be small in research and development but their deployments on their customer premises could be large and require dial-home capabilities from the units or their controllers and relayers. Different kinds of topology involving different types of units participating in overall fleet management and formations must be supported by this software.

Case 5: Fleet operators looking to serve various businesses want to leverage a common platform for management and operations of their fleet.  Earlier, controllers were assigned to partitioned fleets and the logistics would be dependent on each with isolation provided between controllers. As a multitenant platform, both isolation and scalability are no longer restricted for the customers of this Drone Formation Commercial software. The fleet operators can add as many tenants as they can accommodate and it is easy to roll inventory from one tenant to another. Decisions taken for the operation of the fleet are not only captured in the same single pane of glass for management but also the outcomes are easy to roll up in consolidated reports from the platform while maintaining drill down on authorized queries.
