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 experience for a remote drone pilot via a virtual augmented reality cockpit . the rdp is monitored by an operational control system 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 . the uvs perform customizable missions , with adjustable rules for differing skill levels . rdps experience real - time virtual piloting of the uv with augmented interactive and actionable visual and audio content delivered to them via varc systems .
