Abstract:

The purpose of this analysis is to establish concepts of RPV control and the management of data to effect such control. To accomplish this objective, the elements of control are first defined and then segregated into the elements to be performed onboard the RPV and the elements to be performed remotely. Based on the remote elements of control, a set of data and data rate requirements is developed. Finally, a method is formulated for establishing and maintaining communication links to effect the management and flow of this data.
