UAV ground station GCS-2000

The GCS-2000 is a field-proven system that provides continuous transmission and reliable reception of UAV data. It offers a complete C-4I solution when combined with the ATPS-2000 Tracking system and our microwave telecommand and control and video & data links. This rugged system is easily transportable and has minimal electrical requirements. Designed for UAV system C4I out to 250 km range without the need for repeater systems, the GCS-2000 can be ready for operation within an hour of arrival at the site. User-friendly software and setups reduce crew requirements and operator training. The GCS-2000 is designed around a ruggedised shelter with three operator stations for a Mission Commander, Pilot, and Observer or payload operator. Each station is equipped with hot-swappable PC’s for redundancy. 3 Operator Stations. Pilot; Commander & Observer. LCD display screens for video and MMD. Rack mounted power distribution buses. Hot-swappable PC’s for redundancy. -Truck- mounted for mobility. Standard military shelter. Remote linking to ATPS-2000 Antenna Tracking System. The GCS-2000 Ground Control Station comprises three operator workstation consoles located in an air conditioned, truck-mounted, shelter. These consoles are : - Pilot Workstation - Mission Commander Workstation - Observer Workstation Each console has its own PC, tele-command link interface and monitors for data and video from the UAV. System redundancy is enhanced through a central server and net-centric LAN link that allows C4I transmission and reception from the remote ATPS-2000 AZ/EL antenna pedestal The rugged system was developed to be transported in a HMMWV shelter.
