Abstract: System and graphical user interface for managing communications between a remote terminal device operated by a remote pilot or other operator and an uncrewed aircraft. The communication system may include a satellite communication system or other relay communication system that is used to relay voice communication packets between the terminal device and the uncrewed aircraft. A computing system on board the uncrewed aircraft is configured to monitor an RF-communication channel between the uncrewed aircraft and an air traffic control (ATC) facility. In accordance with a state of the RF-communication channel and input provided at the remote terminal device, the computing system may transmit, buffer, delay, store, suppress transmission of, or delete voice communication messages generated by the remote pilot or operator at the terminal device.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for determining a position of a vehicle. In one example, the vehicle includes one or more wheels; a drive system configured to power the one or more wheels; a receiver installed onboard the vehicle, the receiver configured to receive location information from a infrastructure element in proximity to the vehicle; and a processor installed onboard the vehicle, the processor configured to determine a position of the vehicle using the location information from the infrastructure element.
