1. A system for displaying a light show, the system comprising:
a plurality of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) having a screening medium reservoir attached thereto;
a Ground Control Station (GCS) communicatively coupled to the plurality of UAVs, wherein the GCS is configured to control a flight of the plurality of UAVs in accordance with a flight program and discharge of a screening medium from the screening medium reservoir; and
a light controller discrete from and communicatively coupled to the GCS and configured to control at least one light source in accordance with requirements of the light show, the at least one light source external to the plurality of UAVs, wherein data associated with the light show is provided to the light controller, and wherein the light controller is configured to transmit the data associated with the light show to the GCS for allowing the GCS to accordingly control the flight of the UAVs and the discharge of the screening medium from the screening medium reservoir for obtaining a three-dimensional screen for receiving light projections from the at least one light source thereon to display the light show,
wherein the GCS and the light controller are synchronized to ensure coordinated operation of the UAVs and the at least one light source in accordance with the light show, and wherein the data associated with the light show is transmitted from the light controller unit to the GCS, allowing the GCS to control the operation of the UAVs and the discharge of the screening medium from the screening medium reservoir in accordance with the transmitted data associated with the light show based on at least one common timestamp between at least one flight program for the UAVs and the data associated with the light show.
