    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) comprises a flight control system and an electromechanical system directed by the flight control system. The flight control system is configured to track a position of a beacon that is in motion and monitor a difference between an actual position of the unmanned aerial vehicle and a desired position of the unmanned aerial vehicle relative to the position of the beacon. The flight control system configures one or more flight objectives based on one or more factors comprising whether the difference between the actual position and the desired position exceeds a threshold, wherein the flight objectives comprise a velocity objective and a position objective. The flight control system also commands the electromechanical system based at least on the one or more flight objectives.
