VIRTUAL AND AUGMENTED REALITY COCKPIT AND OPERATIONAL CONTROL SYSTEMS

摘要

Architecture for a multimodal, multiplatform switching, unmanned vehicle swarm system which can execute missions in diverse environments. The architecture includes onboard and ground processors to handle and integrate multiple sensor inputs generating a unique UV pilot (106) experience for a remote drone pilot (RDP) via a virtual augmented reality cockpit (VARC). The RDP (106) is monitored by an operational control system (103) and an experienced control pilot. A ground processor handles real-time localization, forwarding of commands, generation and delivery of augmented content to users, along with safety features and overrides. The UVs onboard processors and autopilot execute the commands and provide a redundant source of safety features and override in the case of loss of signal.
