A remote control display management system is disclosed. In an example, a remote control apparatus for unmanned systems includes a display screen for displaying graphic elements and a memory device storing a file for a graphic element and display parameters for displaying the graphic element. The apparatus also includes a processor and an application programming interface ('API'). The processor receives a command message from a host computer via the API. The command message includes at least one parameter value. The processor determines the command message is related to the graphic element stored in the memory device, and causes the graphic element to be displayed on the display screen by applying the at least one parameter value to the display parameters. The disclosed apparatus enables feature-rich high resolution graphics to be displayed on a remote control regardless of a connection speed with a host computer.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed for overcoming latency and loss of signal detection in remote control displays. An exemplary system includes a remote control, a host computing device, and one or more target systems communicatively coupled to each other over a wired and/or wireless network. One method includes receiving, by the remote control and from a host computing device, a first video frame captured by a target device, determining a first time corresponding to receipt of the first video frame, receiving, from the host computing device, a second video frame, determining a second time corresponding to receipt of the second video frame, comparing the time difference to a latency threshold, and causing an alert graphic element to be displayed indicating a latency in communication.
