Ground Control Station (GCS)

This chapter discusses the GCS, its components, and how to assemble it.

A Ground Control Station (GCS) refers to a centralized system or interface that allows operators to communicate with and control unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones. The GCS serves as a command center where operators can monitor the drone's telemetry data, receive real-time video feeds from its cameras, and send commands for navigation, flight parameters, and other operational tasks.

The transmission and control system of the DeltaQuad Evo Tactical includes three essential components: a radio modem and antenna(s), and a Toughbook with a hand controller.

There are two antenna options available:

Tripod mounted sector antenna with a maximum range (LOS) of 40 km.

Automatic Tracking Pedestal with a maximum range (LOS) of 80 km.
