A ground-aware drone flight planning and operation system is provided. The system may comprise a semantic map, a localization system, and a perception system. The semantic map may comprise information about ground events in a geographic area where an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may operate. The localization system may localize the UAV and assist in determining nearby ground events using the semantic map. The perception system may determine real-time ground events in the vicinity of the UAV. A computerized flight planner may generate a flight path based on the localization and perception data.
