A virtual private drone (VPD) system may include a device manager, one or more stations, one or more drones, and one more computing engines. The device manager keeps a repository of device metadata of all drones and computing engines in each deployment of the drone, and runs as an always-on point of contact on the network, globally reachable by all other drones and computing engines in the system. The station is a control center of the VPD system, and each station obtains its network address during registration with the device manager, and starts to synchronize copies of the device metadata using local communication. The drone includes a flight controller module programmable with a flight plan using a number of navigating points, and/or responding to runtime commands. The computing engine includes hardware and software that perform specialized compute-intensive data processing such as computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI).
