Abstract: Systems and methods related to operating modes and video processing for mobile platforms are disclosed. In one example, a logic device of a mobile platform may receive, from a base station, a command comprising a selection of one of a plurality of operating modes for the mobile platform, where each operating mode is associated with a plurality of corresponding control operations. The logic device may execute the control operations associated with the selected operating mode in response to the command. A video processing device having a low latency pipeline may be implemented in the mobile platform to assist the mobile platform in conducting the operating modes such as by outputting real time video streaming and telemetry information for the mobile platform. Related devices and systems are also provided.
