A system for providing the general public with simplified access to aerial surveillance. The system software initially functions as a viewer, but also provides a path to increase a participant's control. The software architecture is structured to accommodate multiple users simultaneously and minimizes operational down-time by organizing participants into a standby queuing system. The system also provides a step-by-step operator-pilot progression, with built in training and certification modules, to train and qualify a participant for higher levels of control. This progression starts by allowing a participant to remotely track the flight path of a surveillance aircraft, then view its camera feed, operate the camera, and eventually pilot the aircraft. The system in applicable whether the aircraft is manned or unmanned, and incorporates an interrupt mechanism to mitigate undesirable mission parameters. In some configurations, the invention's integral fail-safe mechanism optimizes operational compatibility with restrictive civil airspace providing even broader access. The software supports an organizational structure for promotions, accounting and user-queuing. This structure is driven by financial incentives which leverage social media, banner advertising, and streaming video for live public viewing, while incorporating natural safeguards against misuse.
