ABSTRACT:
The present application discloses an open system architecture and software system for plug and play modular mission payloads in aerial vehicles. The improved software moves the control function of mission payloads away from the ground station and into the aerial vehicle. The plug & play web-based payload interface software resides in a payload interface controller in the vehicle, and this is networked via a uniform resource locator (URL) address to a ground control station. Consequently, when new payloads are added to the system, integration issues and costs are minimized.
