Application: Command and Control
Description
Command and Control (C&C) commands are sent on regular intervals from the ground station to the UAVs, This includes telemetry, waypoint update for autonomous UAV operation, real time piloting, identity, flight authorization, navigation database update, etc.
Devices
- Drones equipped with mobile communication link for C&C between the vehicle and a ground control station
