Drone-based package delivery infrastructure includes, e.g. a registration system, a mobile application for requesting the delivery drones, multi-factor authentication subsystems (e.g., biometric readers and cameras on the drones), a scheduling coordinator, and a management portal. For example, a delivery drone can be requested via a mobile application. The scheduling coordinator can identify a drone and route it to the pick-up location. Upon nearing the pick-up destination, the drone can turn on a camera and stream the data to a monitoring platform to help identify the person submitting the cargo or anyone who might damage the drone. In addition, once the drone lands, additional authentications may be required to aid in identifying the user. The package may be analyzed for harmful/illegal content. The management portal allows for remote requests for the drones to land for inspection (e.g., by the police or border agents).
