1. A method for dynamically optimizing a flying ad-hoc network (“FANET”), comprising:
receiving location information of first and second user devices that connect to a unified endpoint management (“UEM”) system via the FANET;
determining that the first user device should receive priority to network resources over the second user device; and
providing instructions to re-position at least one unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) in the FANET based on the priority determination and the location information.
