摘要 |
An unmanned systems operator control system includes a hand held controller with a set of switches and control enumeration software specially configured to report a superset of virtual switches based on the physical switches. A core unit includes a first unmanned system control application subscribing to a first switch subset of the superset and outputting commands controlling a first unmanned system based on activation of the set of switches. A second unmanned system control application subscribes to a second switch subset of the superset and outputs commands controlling a second unmanned system based on activation of the set of switches. A mode switching subsystem is configured, in a first state, to map the set of switches to the first switch subset and, in a second state, to map the set of switches to the second switch subset. |

1. An unmanned vehicle operator control system comprising:
a power supply module; a core module coupled to and powered by the power supply module, the core module including:
a first unmanned system control application,a second unmanned system control application;a first radio, connected to the core module, for wirelessly transmitting commands issued by the first unmanned system control application for controlling a first unmanned system,a second radio connected to the core module for transmitting commands issued by the second unmanned system control application for controlling a second unmanned system; and a handheld controller connected to the core module and including:
a set of physical switches,a mode switching subsystem configured, in a first state, to map the set of physical switches to a first virtual switch subset subscribed to by the first unmanned system control application and, in a second state, to map the set of physical switches to a second virtual switch subset subscribed to by the second unmanned system control application, anda processer configured, upon activation of a physical switch, to output a virtual switch data message to the core module for processing by the subscribed unmanned system control application. |
