Never Lose Control: Regain Command of Drones After Takeovers

Abstract

This patent describes a system process that allows a base controller to regain control of a remotely controlled device (like a drone) after the primary communication method has been compromised. The system process includes an auxiliary controller module using an alternative communication mode, enabling the operator to disable or take over the device when needed.

Problem & Solution

Problem

Losing control of a drone due to signal jamming or hacking can have serious consequences, ranging from lost equipment to safety hazards.

Solution

Our patented navigation controller process provides a failsafe solution. It incorporates an auxiliary communication module that allows you to retake control using a secondary method, like SMS, ensuring the safe recovery or continued operation of your device AND disconnect the primary controller so that any compromised connection is instantly dropped.

Technical Summary

• The system includes an onboard primary controller, a base controller, and an auxiliary controller module
• The auxiliary module communicates through a secondary mode (e.g., SMS) to regain control if the primary mode (e.g., RF signals) fails.
• The system ensures safe retrieval or continued operation of the device even in cases of jamming or hijacking

Benefits

• Maintain control of your remotely operated devices even in compromised situations
• Enhanced security safeguards against hijacking and signal jamming
• Reliable backup communication for uninterrupted operation
• Integrates seamlessly with existing systems (GPS, GSM).
• Secure takeover with coded messaging
• Multi communication modes for reliable control.

Scalability & Flexibility

This scalable process can be integrated with a wide range of remotely controlled devices, from consumer drones to complex industrial equipment.
