The Tablet PC-based interface system, that sets the Scout apart from other UAVs, differs from the standard method of joystick control allowing minimal training for operations of the vehicle. Tablet PC- allows the scout to be piloted by the user pointing to an area on the map that they wishes to fly to. Height is controlled similarly with a scroll on the touch screen interface allowing altitude to be monitored. The scout can be flown real-time or pre-programmed to fly a series of GPS coordinates. With the ability to constantly monitor conditions, the Scout is able to make decisions on a course of action to take. The scouts built in intelligence allows for it's return home, immediate landing, or to hover and wait. To prevent hijacking and video interception the scouts communications are digitally encrypted. The aircraft, as well as having a quick-change payload interface, is able to detect the type of payload it is connected to, and configure and operate it accordingly.
