Ground Control Station (GCS) is the platform from which operators monitor and control an unmanned or remotely piloted vehicle, most often a drone or other UAV.
The Getac CommandCore Ground Control Station provides a rugged and flexible platform designed to support real-time data processing, system control and informed decision-making process. It enables systems to be configured into fully capable Ground Control Stations, serving as centralised hubs for system control, data visualisation and operational management—even in harsh and demanding conditions.
Designed to work with widely used command-and-control, situational awareness and mission software, the CommandCore GCS platform is interoperable and vendor-agnostic. Its modular architecture supports operational-specific customisation, including configurable I/O, expansion interfaces and communication options, allowing organizations to deploy integration-ready GCS solutions tailored to their environments and workflows.
When it comes to demanding ground control operations, mobility and durability are essential. Getac rugged devices can be configured into powerful, portable Ground Control Stations designed to perform reliably in challenging environments, supporting field operations across defence, public safety, utilities and other mission-critical use cases.
Getac solutions are rigorously tested and certified to meet industry-recognised standards, delivering consistent and dependable performance in demanding environments. With flexible operating system options, devices can be easily adapted to a wide range of operational requirements. Each unit can also be pre-configured with custom BIOS settings, enabling immediate access to critical applications upon startup and supporting rapid deployment from day one.
