ABSTRACT

A system for remote operation of an unmanned vehicle (UV) includes a control
station having a communication link to the UV and executing a web browser for
(1) receiving web pages of a UV control web application, (2) rendering the web
pages on the control station, (3) receiving control input from an operator via
rendered web pages, and (4) generating messages on the communication link
based on the control input. A hosted server system is coupled to the control
station via the communication link and to internal subsystems of the UV for
flight control, mission control, navigation, and system monitoring, and (1)
executes a web server serving the web pages of the UV control web application
to the control station for the above operations of the web browser, and (2)
provides back-end controls to the internal subsystems based on the control
input from the operator.
