A cloud-based system for controlling the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is used as the communication path between a pilot and his/her UAV, eliminating the direct communication between pilot and vehicle. The cloud-based UAV control system is configured to include both “control apps” associated with the actual flight of a UAV and “mission-specific apps” that include a set of instructions for a specific mission (i.e., performing energy audit of an industrial complex). The control apps preferably include flight regulations (as provided by the FAA, for example) that are used define “no-fly zones”. Other legitimate government (or non-government) agencies may provide “electric fence” control apps to the cloud-based system, thus preventing UAVs from entering protected areas. The UAVs interacting with the control system are intelligent, able to receive specific mission-based applications from the control system, allowing the UAVs to collect a wide variety of useful information.
