In 2007, the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC) will be flying the Ikhana Predator B (General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., San Diego, California) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) (fig. 1), and the X-48B (The Boeing Company, Chicago, Illinois) Blended-Wing Body (BWB) aircraft (fig. 2). These high-value UAVs require a remote pilot to fly the vehicle while looking through a forward-looking camera located in the vehicle nose during take off, pattern operations, and landing. These operations are high-risk to the vehicle because of the poor field of view, lack of peripheral vision and external cues, lack of sensory feedback, and system time delays for uplink command and video downlink. Recently, DFRC pilots have flown only piloted vehicles and were concerned with the lack of familiarity with operating a remotely-piloted vehicle (RPV) through a video camera.
