Abstract

A mission plan module generates a mission plan for a deployed remote vehicle. The mission plan comprises a plurality of commands for the deployed remote vehicle. A burst upload module receives the mission plan and selects a given subset of the plurality of commands. The burst mode module transmits the given subset of commands to a data link interface (DLI) module over a network. The given subset of commands is transmitted with a burst mode operation based on burst rate parameters, causing the DLI module to transmit the given subset of commands to the deployed remote vehicle through a ground communication element. The burst mode module receives a set of response messages from the remote vehicle responsive to the given subset of commands and selects a next subset of the plurality of commands. The burst mode module transmits the next subset of commands to the DLI module over the network.
