cGCS Common Ground Control Station cGCS Common Ground Control Station Small Tactical Ground Control Station Command and control multiple uncrewed systems from a single, small, expeditionary workstation. Small footprint Operate from a laptop with short, medium, and long-range options including vehicle- and tripod-mounted antennas. Open Systems Design Open architecture and fully supported Software Development Kit (SDK). Controls all Insitu platforms as well as non-Insitu UxS. Expeditionary Small and lightweight, requiring only a 1-person carry. Pack in and pack out quickly, and fly from stationary or moving platforms. Get all the technical specs. DOWNLOAD PRODUCT CARD Specifications Software/Hardware Support I-MUSE, INEXA (fmr. ICOMC2) / INEXA 9.x Insitu & STANAG 4586 compliant aircraft/UxS. Operational Range Configurations Short-range antenna: >16 km (8.5 nm) Medium-range antenna: 78 km (42 nm) Long-range antenna: 130 km (70 nm) Radio Options Silvus StreamCaster Frequency Bands S-band, C-band, L-band SATCOM PLEO Industry-Standard Protocols and Hardware STANAG 4586, 4609, 3607 IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T Ethernet) Motion Imagery Standards Board (MISB) Cursor on Target (CoT) Power and Comms Power input: 20-35V DC Max RF output: 10 W Base Components Operator Laptop Scalable end-user device. Single operator for multiple aircraft. Device Control Central hub for network and power distribution. Fiber Extension Optional Kit. Up to 500m between devices. GPS Enclosure GNSS and SAASM. Radio Handhelds Multiple options available. Compact Design GCS components (radio, computing, networking, power) are physically small for ease of use, transport, and compact installation spaces. Modular Architecture Component configurations can be tailored for specific applications, enabling easy and rapid integration of new hardware like radios, GPS modules, antennas, and computers. Scalable Operations Adjustable from a minimal single-laptop system to a full multi-computer peripheral set including networked payload data routing and a large backup power supply. Flexible Deployment Ranges from lightweight backpackable options to vehicle-mounted and one-person-carry mid-range setups — or long range solutions with expeditionary tripods or permanent marinized installations. Supports line of sight and SATCOM over-the-horizon operations. Advanced Radios Features MANET radios using Silvus StreamCaster architecture for resilient communication in a unitary data link configuration. Architecture supports integration of alternate radios. Rugged Durability Operates in extreme environments (-32°C to +49°C), glove-compatible, and resistant to harsh electromagnetic interference (EMI). System Compatibility Fully supports I-MUSE, INEXA, and other STANAG 4586 compliant uncrewed platforms, ensuring cross-compatibility with both legacy and next-gen UxS technology. Operational Efficiency Enables launching and operating multiple UxS from a single hub, with seamless transfer to mobile spoke using the same hardware. Ready to learn more?
