1. A system for providing perceived first order control of an unmanned vehicle, comprising:

  • a memory; and

    a processor configured by the memory to perform the steps of;

    receiving instructions comprising a first order command, velocity, updating an x-axis location, a y-axis location, a z-axis location, and/or a heading of the unmanned vehicle;

    converting the received instructions into a set of relative distance coordinates from a current location of the unmanned vehicle; and

    adjusting the set of relative distance coordinates by a gain control, to minimize coordinate change, wherein the gain control provides a rate change in the x-axis location, y-axis location, z-axis location, and/or heading, resulting in a new set of coordinates.
