A system and method for high-precision automated guidance of a drone via a local (on-site) computing device for delivery of items is disclosed. The drone navigates to a location in proximity to the recipient's home using standard navigation protocols. Once the UAV arrives at this local destination, communication between the UAV and an on-site computing device occurs. The on-site device serves as a micro air-traffic controller to the UAV's precise drop off target location. The on-site device can provide approach vectors, guidance around obstacles and navigation instructions to a final micro-destination.
