Aspects of the current subject matter relate to enhanced operation services provided by an unmanned vehicle with cloud-based connectivity for real-time exchange of data and command/control operations. Data collected during a mission for an operation service, such as a particular inspection activity, is transmitted in real-time to a server for analysis to provide real-time or near real-time feedback in the form of command and/or control signals to the unmanned vehicle to improve the operation service while it is being carried out. The collected data is also used for simulations and to create historical content for future operation services.
