## Abstract

At least some embodiments are a method including connecting a mobile computer system to a vehicle computer system, wherein the vehicle computer system does not include a display device. Mission control data is received from the vehicle computer system, the mission control data generated by one or more vehicle I/O sensors coupled to the vehicle computer system. The mission control data is displayed on a display device of the mobile computer system.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
connecting a mobile computer system to a vehicle computer system, wherein the vehicle computer system does not include a display device;
receiving, by the mobile computer system, mission operations data comprising access control data for accessing via an access control interface of the mobile computer system the mission operations data by user input authentication data available as a common access card issued by the U.S. government, and wherein the mission operations data is further customized for a particular mission from the vehicle computer system, the mission operations data customized for a particular mission generated by one or more vehicle I/O sensors coupled to the vehicle computer system;
displaying the mission operations data customized for a particular mission on a display device of the mobile computer system;
detecting docking of a plurality of mobile computer systems, one of which is the mobile computer system and the remainder of which are other mobile computer systems excluding the mobile computer system, to a mission planning server system located at a base facility;
downloading the mission operations data from the vehicle computer system in parallel and simultaneously with other mission operations data from corresponding the other mobile computer systems to the mission planning server system; and
wiping the mission operation data from non-volatile memory within the mobile computer system by overwriting with all zeros.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 further comprising:
downloading mission data from the non-volatile random access memory in the mobile computer system to the vehicle computer system.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2 wherein the mission data is stored in the non-volatile random access memory in encrypted form; and
the method further comprises decrypting the mission data.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2 wherein the mission data comprises the access control data associated with a preselected user, the method further comprising:
receiving the user input authentication data; and
authenticating the user input authentication data against the access control data.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4 wherein the receiving control data customized for a particular mission and the displaying the control data customized for a particular mission is enabled in response to authenticating the input authentication data.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 further comprising:
collecting mission operations data on the vehicle computer system, the mission operations data generated by one or more vehicle I/O sensors coupled to the vehicle computer system; and
uploading the mission operations data to the mobile computing system.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6 further comprising encrypting the mission operations data, the mission operations data stored in non-volatile random access memory of the mobile computer system in encrypted form.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7 wherein the encrypting employs a public key encryption system using a public key associated with a mission planning system.

### Claim 9 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4 wherein the access control data comprises a biosensor signature, and wherein:
receiving the user input authentication data comprises receiving biosensor scan data from a biosensor coupled to the vehicle computer system; and
authenticating the user input authentication data against the access control data comprises authenticating the biosensor scan data against the biosensor signature.
