Originally developed by the United States Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Vigilant Spirit is a modern UAS operator control interface with a capable plugin architecture. The user experience is streamlined by including only the elements needed to perform preflight, mission objectives, and emergency procedures. Vehicle specific low level calibration and control settings have been abstracted out to a separate engineering user interface, keeping Vigilant Spirit focused on the mission at hand. Vigilant Spirit is STANAG 4586 compliant.
