Sensory information is obtained at a drone (e.g., from sensors at the drone or deployed at other locations), and the sensory information defines the physical operating environment of the drone. The aerial drone is initially operated according to a current geographical location that is received. The sensory information is subsequently obtained, for example, from the sensors. An adjusted current geographical location of the aerial drone is selectively determined based upon an evaluation of the sensory information and a UWB beacon signal. The aerial drone is operated according to the adjusted current geographical location.
