PORTABLE GROUND CONTROL STATIONUAV Factory’s Ground Control Station (GCS) contains all hardware for controlling a high performance unmanned

aircraft vehicles and managing payload. GCS is based on Panasonic’s field proven CF-31 rugged laptop, has additional

17’’ super-bright touch screen payload display, and flexible power system with dual battery setup with advanced

status monitoring features.

GCS can be configured to accept autopilot-specific ground side hardware. GCS is available completely configured for 

Procerus Technologies Commbox, please contact for configuration packages for Micropilot, Cloud Cap Technologies or 

other manufacturer ground side equipment. Video receiver equipment can be factory integrated into the GCS.With the capability to be powered from 12-32 VDC or 

110-240 VAC, the GCS can be used anytime, anywhere.

Integrated hot-swappable dual Lithium battery bays as well

as intuitive battery condition monitoring system will enable

to use the GCS up to 2 hours on a single battery set.

Batteries can be hot-swapped without switching off the

system, allowing for an increase in operation time.

GCS has a set of integrated safety features, including over 

voltage protection, over current protection, reverse voltageprotection as well as battery over-discharge protection.

The integrated power supply system can

provide additional 12 VDC, 50 W power 

source to auxiliary subsystems such as

tracking antennas or video receivers,

eliminating the need for additional power 

supply or batteries.

The GCS is packed into the military grade

transportation case and has internal storagefor joystick, RC-transmitter, mouse and small

components such as wiring, antennas,

external GPS antenna.
