1. An autonomous control system for an unmanned aerial vehicle, the autonomous control system comprising:
- a first control mode component configured to generate a first command to provide a first autonomous control mode for the unmanned aerial vehicle;
a second control mode component configured to generate a second command to provide a second autonomous control mode for the unmanned aerial vehicle; and
an intelligence synthesizer configured to resolve functional conflicts between the first and second autonomous control modes.

12. A method of controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first operator input that corresponds to a first autonomous control mode; receiving a second operator input that corresponds to a second autonomous control mode; determining that a conflict exists between the first and second autonomous control modes; and generating a control output based on the determination that a conflict exists. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
