With the development of database management systems and the advent of android application to ease the burden of data storage and retrieval (management), collection and processing of data on devices and artifacts that seemed extremely difficult is presently made quite easy. In this paper, the concept of database management is introduced and a mobile application is designed and hosted online. Management software of database server is established to realize instruction-level management and scheduling of databases. A Web-based management application interface (android APP) is set up to meet user needs, thus to retrieve a variety of repositories. Thereby, meets the needs of stakeholders, researchers and all sectors of society for statistical query of UAV data.

The problem of indiscriminate use of UAVs which has been a cancer in many countries as perpetrators use them dubiously has been investigated and a possible antidote of such a menace suggested. By the use of a management system that take into cognizance collection and storage of information on all UAVs in the area taking into consideration, the purpose, location and the specific details of each device. Adopting a mobile application system, an APP is developed with an underlying database to host the information. The app is hosted online to be accessed ubiquitously by all stakeholders. After building the app and hosting online, it is tested using different test values to prove if the app can really be used to manage the information as required. In larger perspective, the piece of work could be adopted in different fields. It has the ability to be accessed universally and hence useful for top managers and decision makers since they can still work remotely. The challenge associated with this software is that it cannot track the activities of the UAV when it takes off because it is not connected to the UAV's sensor. It is therefore the foresight of the researcher to include into the project a sensor detection component that will be able to read and record the state (GPS and other flight information) of the UAV when it is in the flight mode, thus, in the future works.
