A system and method for controlling a remote vehicle comprises a hand-held controller including a laser generator for generating a laser beam. The hand-held controller is manipulable to aim and actuate the laser beam to designate a destination for the remote vehicle. The remote vehicle senses a reflection of the laser beam and moves toward the designated destination. The hand-held controller allows single-handed control of the remote vehicle and one or more of its payloads. A method for controlling a remote vehicle via a laser beam comprises encoding control signals for a remote vehicle into a laser beam that is aimed and sent to a designated destination for the remote vehicle, and sensing a reflection of the laser beam, decoding the control signals for the remote vehicle, and moving toward the designated destination.

What is claimed is: 1. A system for controlling a remote vehicle, the system comprising:a hand-held controller including a laser generator for generating a laser beam comprising an embedded unique code corresponding to the remote vehicle, the hand-held controller being manipulable to aim and actuate the laser beam to designate a destination for the remote vehicle,wherein the remote vehicle senses a reflection of the laser beam, verifies the embedded unique code, computes a trajectory to the designated destination, and moves toward the designated destination.
