Develop standard, re-usable inexpensive solutions for IP-enabled always-on UAVs over cellular IP networks such as GPRS, 3G, 4G etc.
Primary goal: Telemetry over low cost cellular [achieved in testing]
Secondary goal: Bi-directional GCS/Telemetry over cellular IP [achieved in testing]
Tertiary goal: High speed IP for streaming IP video over cellular 3G/4G
STATUS: Bi-directional telemetry over cellular IP (UDP or TCP) is now working. It has been flown successfully while logging live telemetry to a GCS at home, several miles away [distance is really unlimited]. Currently working on improving code, more testing and broader hardware support.

No not yet, I just red about it at hackaday.com and I thought sharing
They nailed it ! right on !!
you can attach your android phone to the UAV and use apps like CloudCam as a mjpeg video link, it lets you choose the resolution and quality to get less lag. Also you can use Trackme to get a GPS position, altitude, speed and bearing and tracking path, all on google maps. But is there a way to control the servos with the phone without having a science degree?
ASUS WL-330N3G only few ounces running of 5V running OpenWRT have this GPRS modem and hacked serial to connect to APM. On "short" range it can be connected by using wireless connection and on long range it can be connected by using GPRS internet connection. Ethernet port can be used for IP camera....
just brainstorming... any ideas...
Is it legal (in US, Europe, NZ and in Australia) to use cellular network from an airborne (manned or unmanned) platform?
Here is a statement I've found "According to current U.S. Federal Aviation Regulations, the use of cell phones on any kind of airborne platform, including private aircraft and even balloons (once the platform is airborne) is forbidden." (See also http://www.datasync.com/~rsf1/cell-air.htm)
