Does nothing.
1 to arm, 0 to disarm
Return vehicle to base.
0: return to base, 1: track mobile base
Stops the vehicle from returning to base and resumes flight.
Turns the vehicle's visible or infrared lights on or off.
0: visible lights, 1: infrared lights
0: turn on, 1: turn off
Requests vehicle to send current mid-level commands to ground station.
Requests storage of mid-level commands.
Mid-level command storage: 0: read from flash/EEPROM, 1: write to flash/EEPROM
Slugs-specific navigation modes.
No change to SLUGS mode.
Vehicle is in liftoff mode.
Vehicle is in passthrough mode, being controlled by a pilot.
Vehicle is in waypoint mode, navigating to waypoints.
Vehicle is executing mid-level commands.
Vehicle is returning to the home location.
Vehicle is landing.
Lost connection with vehicle.
Vehicle is in selective passthrough mode, where selected surfaces are being manually controlled.
Vehicle is in ISR mode, performing reconaissance at a point specified by ISR_LOCATION message.
Vehicle is patrolling along lines between waypoints.
Vehicle is grounded or an error has occurred.
These flags encode the control surfaces for selective passthrough mode. If a bit is set then the pilot console
has control of the surface, and if not then the autopilot has control of the surface.
