ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for controlling an airborne vehicle (18) includes a guidance unit (28), remotely located from the vehicle (18), for generating frequency modulated steering and control signals. A signal conditioning circuit (38) within the vehicle (18) conditions steering and control signals from the guidance unit (28). An attitude position sensing circuit (56) within the vehicle (18) senses and generates vehicle attitude position information. A programmable microcontroller (70) within the vehicle (18) receives the steering and control signals from the signal conditioning circuit (38) and vehicle attitude position information from the attitude position sensing circuit (56), and generates flight commands for controlling the flight of the vehicle (18).
