The present disclosure provides techniques and systems for improved flight planning. A regulation that restricts flight operations for one or more locations during one or more windows of time is accessed. It is determined, based on the regulation, that a scheduled flight will be delayed by the regulation. One or more alternative routes for the scheduled flight are identified, and a first alternative route of the one or more alternative routes is submitted as an updated flight plan for the scheduled flight.

A technique for managing an airspace used by a fleet of UAVs includes presenting a user interface (UI) adapted for creating an airspace restriction based on non-digitized information available to a human supervisor and input into the UI by the human supervisor, soliciting with a selectable field of the UI a restriction type for the airspace restriction from a plurality of available restriction types, soliciting with duration fields of the UI start and end times for the airspace restriction, soliciting with location fields of the UI a location of the airspace restriction, creating a new entry for the airspace restriction in a restriction data store based on the selectable, duration, and location fields, and creating a new flight mission or altering an existing flight mission based upon the airspace restriction.

A system includes avionics line-replaceable units (LRUs); a mission manager including application programming interfaces (API); a processing device; and a memory storing one or more machine readable instructions causing the system to: communicatively couple the mission manager to external avionics services via a data gateway to receive updated mission conditions at the mission manager; register one of the avionics LRUs with one of the mission manager APIs; receive, at the mission manager, updated mission conditions from the external avionics services via the data gateway; provide one or more of the one or more updated mission conditions to the registered avionics LRU based on one or more of an updated mission plan and an unexpected update to the mission condition; and control one or more aircraft systems based on one or more of the updated mission plan and the unexpected update to the mission condition.

A method for providing location access management includes receiving a request for access data with respect to one or more regions based on location data associated with a movable object, determining that an access level associated with a restricted region of the one or more regions is restricted, displaying a message based on the access level associated with the restricted region on a user interface of a client device, receiving a request to unlock the restricted region, unlocking the restricted region, updating a data structure corresponding to a region identifier and representing the restricted region, to indicate that the restricted region is unlocked, and sending the updated data structure to update the access data for the movable object. The access data includes one or more data structures representing the one or more regions. The request includes the region identifier associated with the restricted region.

This electronic system for managing the flight of an aircraft comprises: an acquisition module configured to acquire at least one flight plan section, from equipment external to the flight management system; an insertion module configured to insert each acquired section into a current flight plan, the current flight plan including one or more current sections, and to obtain a new flight plan resulting from said insertion; and a calculation module configured to calculate a new trajectory of the aircraft from the new flight plan. At least one acquired section includes an additional constraint of a type distinct from that of the constraint(s) related to each current section, and the calculation module is configured to calculate the new trajectory as a function of each additional constraint.

Methods and systems to develop routes for an aircraft to travel through an airspace. The system includes interface circuitry to receive one or more objectives and one or more constraints for the routes. Processing circuitry is configured to optimize the routes based on one or more of the input parameters. The processing circuitry is configured to: generate a set of routes that each comprise a different flight path through the airspace; rank the routes in the set based on how each of the routes dominates the other routes based on the one or more objectives and constraints; maintain dominant routes in the set and eliminate dominated routes from the set based on the rankings; generate additional dominant routes based on the one or more objectives and constraints; and supplement the set with the additional dominant routes.
