Ground<br />
Control<br />
Station<br />
(GCS)<br />
Ground Control Station (GCS) is an intuitive, mission-centric user interface for Small<br />
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS) users and only requires a minimal number <strong>of</strong> operator<br />
actions to perform any task. GCS utilizes a tablet/smartphone-style gesture based interface,<br />
where only 1-2 clicks are required for most mission planning and mission execution tasks.<br />
There is a high level <strong>of</strong> automation designed into the s<strong>of</strong>tware, resulting in rapid flight mission<br />
planning both during pre-flight and inflight operations. The GCS s<strong>of</strong>tware can operate multiple<br />
small UAVs at once through an intuitive mission management system.<br />
GCS is interoperable with the NATO<br />
standard open architecture and is<br />
compatible with STANAG 4586 for<br />
command and control <strong>of</strong> air vehicles,<br />
payloads, and data links, as well as<br />
STANAG 4609 for payload products.<br />
GCS utilizes high resolution terrain data<br />
during flight-planning to prevent terrain<br />
incursion and ensure line-<strong>of</strong>-sight.<br />
The service-oriented architecture supports rapid integration <strong>of</strong> third party subsystem solutions<br />
and features an IP-based communications architecture facilitating simple integration with IP<br />
enabled services such as Payload Exploitation and Dissemination (PED) services or external<br />
mission planning systems, as well as simple injection <strong>of</strong> external data objects such as friendlyforce<br />
location data and dissemination <strong>of</strong> payload and/or mission data over Ethernet networks.<br />
