主权项 1. A system configured to control the operation of an unmanned vehicle, comprising: a base station configured to transmit operational commands via line of sight communication; and an unmanned vehicle including a first communication interface, the first communication interface being a line of sight communication interface,a second communication interface, the second communication interface being a cellular communication interface configured to communicate with the base station through cellular communication,a bus coupled to the first communication interface and the second communication interface, anda controller configured to communicate with the first communication interface and the second communication interface via the bus,to operate the unmanned vehicle based on operational commands received from the base station via the line of sight communication,to transfer total operational control of the unmanned vehicle between the first communication interface and the second communication interface; andto operate the unmanned vehicle based on operational commands received via the cellular communication,wherein total operational control of the unmanned vehicle is transferred between the first communication interface and the second communication interface during operation of the unmanned vehicle such that during a single mission, the unmanned vehicle is initially operated based on commands received from the base station via one of the line of sight communication and the cellular communication and is subsequently operated based on operational commands received via the other of the line of sight communication and the cellular communication.
