Abstract:
A technique for verifying a geographical position of an unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV, is disclosed. A computing unit for executing a UAV application server residing in a cellular network and configured to verify a geographical position of a UAV connected to the cellular network comprises at least one processor and at least one memory, wherein the at least one memory contains instructions executable by the at least one processor such that the UAV application server is operable to receive (S202) UAV-based position information indicative of a current geographical position of the UAV determined by the UAV, trigger (S204) obtaining, from at least one entity of the cellular network and based on information associated with the UAV available in the cellular network, network-based position information indicative of a current geographical position of the UAV, and trigger (S206) verifying the UAV-based position information based on the network-based position information.
