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, unmanned systems control segment. The interface between the UGCS and unmanned aircraft is STANAG 4586 compliant, offering radio system-independent software and hardware. The UGCS contains a host of user-friendly features designed by Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) operators and human-factors experts. It has flown everything from small quad-rotors to a large unmanned 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™)..
