RC3

Components

Signature organisms that carry the RC3 vocabulary. Each documents anatomy, scope variants, states, behavioural rules, and accessibility.

One

Safety actions

Stop, recall, abort

The primary safety affordance for the active scope. One tap to reach, a deliberate second tap to fire. Honours invariants 1 and 4.

Open
Two

Comms / health strip

What the link is doing

Persistent strip carrying link state, signal strength, and platform health for every connected platform. Honours invariant 2.

Open
Three

Autonomy mode selector

Who is driving

The level-of-autonomy ladder and the consent gestures that gate transitions across it. Honours invariant 4.

Open
Four

Video tile

Live sensor feeds

Frame for a single video / sensor feed — FPV camera, gimbal, IR, EO. RC3 ships the surface; the consumer plugs the stream player into the children slot. Honours invariant 5.

Open
Five

Telemetry HUD

What the platform is doing

Compact strip of operational telemetry — speed, altitude, heading, battery, attitude. Overlays a video tile or sits as its own thin panel. Honours invariant 5.

Open
Six

Controller interface

Operator input state

Live operator input state — sticks, triggers, buttons. Read-only; the consumer wires input from their gamepad / WebSocket / physical controller pipeline. Honours invariant 5.

Open
Seven

Platform roster

Quick-glance fleet status

Vertical list of platforms with link, autonomy mode, and battery summary per row. The active platform is Ember-marked — unmistakable. Honours invariant 3.

Open
Eight

Platform detail

Deep state of one platform

Master-detail companion to platform roster. Comms, telemetry, mission, operator, last-contact — vertical card with each section optional. Honours invariant 3.

Open
Nine

Perception view

What the swarm perceives

Live 3D window into the mapped scene — point clouds, occupancy, structure, and areas of interest, with per-source freshness. RC3 ships a reference renderer; upstream does the fusion. Honours invariant 5.

Open
Ten

Waypoint list

Route and mission steps

Ordered waypoint editor with reorder, insert, and active-step affordances. Replaces the operator-console's stub active-waypoint card. In design.

In design
Eleven

Alerts panel

Warnings and acknowledgements

RC3-scoped warnings for autonomy, safety, link, and platform events. Distinct from the C3 App Shell's chrome-level Notification Centre. In design.

In design
Twelve

Mission timeline

Phases and objectives

Sequence of mission phases with progress and active-step indicator. Fills the mission timeline surface region. In design.

In design
Thirteen

Hand-off / takeover

Who is driving right now

Shared-control affordance for multi-operator workflows. Indicates the active controller, requests takeover, surfaces transfer acknowledgements. In design.

In design
Fourteen

Gimbal aim

Where the camera is pointing

Spatial indicator of camera orientation relative to the platform — bearing, depression / elevation, field-of-view. Complements the video tile when the operator needs sensor cone awareness. In design.
