MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541123778 A) filed by Nadavadi Harshith Gowd, Muthukur, Andhra Pradesh, on Dec. 8, 2025, for 'a system and method for long-range remote control and telemetry of unmanned aerial vehicles using a mobile device over secure network tunneling.'
Inventor(s) include Nadavadi Harshith Gowd.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a secure communication system for remotely operating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using a mobile device across heterogeneous networks. A Pixhawk flight controller is connected to a Raspberry Pi companion computer that ingests MAVLink telemetry and establishes an encrypted WireGuard VPN tunnel with the operator's mobile device. Through this tunnel, MAVProxy or similar software forwards MAVLink packets to the mobile device, enabling QGroundControl to provide full telemetry display, mission management, and bidirectional command control. The system operates across any IP-based network, including 4G/5G, broadband, and remote Wi-Fi, thereby overcoming traditional range, security, and network-compatibility limitations. The invention offers a low-cost, network-independent solution for long-distance and beyond-visual-line-of-sight UAV operations."
