Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system to help facilitate continued control of a mobile craft in a situation where the wireless link between the controller and mobile craft degrades. In accordance with the disclosure, the controller and mobile craft will each independently detect threshold degradation of their direct wireless link and will each respond to its detecting of the threshold degradation by acquiring a cellular wireless connection with a cellular radio access network and communicating via its acquired cellular wireless connection with a network-based control server. The control server will then automatically bridge together its communication with the controller and its communication with the mobile craft so as to enable the controller to continue controlling the mobile craft.
