Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for autonomously managing operation of an unmanned aerial vehicle (202). Sensor data (228) is received by a computer system (224) located onboard the unmanned aerial vehicle (202). The sensor data (228) is processed by the computer system (224) to generate information of interest (230) related to at least one target, while the unmanned aerial vehicle (202) is out of a communications range (218) of a control station (210). A number of actions (225) to be performed is identified by the computer system (224) based on the information of interest (230) related to the at least one target, while the unmanned aerial vehicle (202) is out of the communications range (218) of the control station (210).
