A computer implemented autonomous vehicle fleet control method, comprising: obtaining, by a fleet controller, from a master schedule, a mission for a vehicle of a fleet of autonomous vehicles, wherein the mission is associated with a mission entry of the master schedule; identifying a flight path associated with the mission; verifying a usability of the flight path with an unmanned aircraft system, UAS, traffic management, UTM, wherein the UTM performs checking on the flight path for traffic in the flight path, availability of the flight path due to flight restrictions and requirements for use of the flight path; modifying the flight path according to data from the UTM in response to the UTM indicating that the usability of the flight path is not verified; generating vehicle commands according to mission parameters associated with the mission based on the flight path; maintaining a persistent connection with the vehicle; sending the vehicle commands to the vehicle using the connection, the vehicle commands causing the vehicle to execute the mission under control of the fleet controller; monitoring operation of the vehicle, in real-time or near real-time, during performance of the mission, wherein the monitoring the operation of the vehicle comprises determining, during performance of the mission, whether the mission parameters associated with the mission are supported by mission impact data received from the fleet controller, wherein the mission impact data includes UTM data received from the UTM; generating, in response to the mission parameters not being supported by the mission impact data, adjusted vehicle commands according to the mission impact data and the mission parameters; and sending the adjusted vehicle commands to the vehicle using the connection, the adjusted vehicle commands causing the vehicle to execute the mission under control of the fleet controller according to the adjusted vehicle command. obtaining, by a fleet controller, from a master schedule, a mission for a vehicle of a fleet of autonomous vehicles, wherein the mission is associated with a mission entry of the master schedule; identifying a flight path associated with the mission; verifying a usability of the flight path with an unmanned aircraft system, UAS, traffic management, UTM, wherein the UTM performs checking on the flight path for traffic in the flight path, availability of the flight path due to flight restrictions and requirements for use of the flight path; modifying the flight path according to data from the UTM in response to the UTM indicating that the usability of the flight path is not verified; generating vehicle commands according to mission parameters associated with the mission based on the flight path; maintaining a persistent connection with the vehicle; sending the vehicle commands to the vehicle using the connection, the vehicle commands causing the vehicle to execute the mission under control of the fleet controller; monitoring operation of the vehicle, in real-time or near real-time, during performance of the mission, wherein the monitoring the operation of the vehicle comprises determining, during performance of the mission, whether the mission parameters associated with the mission are supported by mission impact data received from the fleet controller, wherein the mission impact data includes UTM data received from the UTM; generating, in response to the mission parameters not being supported by the mission impact data, adjusted vehicle commands according to the mission impact data and the mission parameters; and sending the adjusted vehicle commands to the vehicle using the connection, the adjusted vehicle commands causing the vehicle to execute the mission under control of the fleet controller according to the adjusted vehicle command. generating, in response to the mission parameters not being supported by the mission impact data, adjusted vehicle commands according to the mission impact data and the mission parameters; and sending the adjusted vehicle commands to the vehicle using the connection, the adjusted vehicle commands causing the vehicle to execute the mission under control of the fleet controller according to the adjusted vehicle command.
