WIRELESSLY CONTROLLING UNMANNED AIRCRAFT AND ACCESSING ASSOCIATED SURVEILLANCE DATA

摘要

Controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may be accomplished by using a wireless device (e.g., cell phone) to send a control message to a receive r at the UAV via a wireless telecommunication network (e.g., an existing cel lular network configured primarily for mobile telephone communication). In a ddition, the wireless device may be used to receive communications from a tr ansmitter at the UAV, wherein the wireless device receives the communication s from the transmitter via the wireless network. Examples of such communicat ions include surveillance information and UAV monitoring information.
