UNIFIED GROUND CONTROL STATION
Unified Ground Control Station - UGCS
The Unified Ground Control Station (UGCS) software application provides a unified UAS command and control interface that seamlessly scales across different hardware devices, operating systems, (Windows, Linux, and Android) and display resolutions. The underlying software is based on non-proprietary, open, uncrewed systems control segment. The interface between the UGCS and uncrewed aircraft is STANAG 4586 compliant, offering radio system-independent software and hardware. The UGCS contains a host of user-friendly features designed by Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) operators and human-factors experts. It has flown everything from small quad-rotors to a large uncrewed Black Hawk® helicopter – including several tactical fixed-winged and Air Launched Effects (ALE) platforms.
The UGCS integrates with numerous internet protocol, point-to-point and mesh radio systems, including Government Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) radios, (L3 Rover 6™, Cubic MMT™) and Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) radios (Wave Relay™, Silvus™).

Kutta Tactical Controller (KTAC)
The KTAC provides the end-user with a rugged, COTS, Android phone-based robotic controller. The KTAC can be worn as a chest-mounted device, removed and placed in a pocket, or held with one hand. It can also be integrated with the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) for situational awareness, and Kutta’s Unified Ground Control Station (UGCS) software for the control of uncrewed systems.
Tablet & Laptop
Kutta can also provide the application on military rugged, industrial, or COTS tablets and laptops. The user interface is configured to natively support touchscreen input, mouse, and/or COTS game controllers. The software application is typically configured to run on Windows, Android, or customer-specific versions of Linux.
