A professional-grade ground control station built into a Pelican™ 1510 case — 19″ sunlight-viewable HD display, HOTAS layout, and the Desert Rotor SmartView™ interface that flies any UAV, any autopilot, anywhere.
Operator-first hardware. Hall-effect joysticks, a sunlight-readable display, and Pelican-case ruggedness — every input is engineered for hands-on, high-tempo missions.
A 1200-NIT panel built for direct sun — pilots see telemetry, video, and mission planning without shading the screen, even at noon in the field.
APEM 55′M Hall-effect 3-axis joysticks plus Delrin-machined slide potentiometers put aircraft, payload, and gimbal under one set of hands — never let go of control.
Seamlessly built into a 22″ carry-on Pelican — impact-rated, watertight, and configured to survive the same environment your drones do.
Switch between mains and 4S Li-Ion battery without dropping the link — run two batteries in parallel for 10.4Ah of field endurance.
Roll it. Pack it. Deploy it. The C-GCS moves the way operators move — suitcase-style on wheels, on-back via straps, set up and flying in minutes.
Telescoping pull handle and integrated grip turn the GCS into a one-hand carry between staging and launch.
Roll across pavement, gravel, and packed dirt — no second vehicle, no porter cart required.
FAA carry-on legal, IP-rated, and impact-tested. The same case standard trusted by broadcast and defense.
SmartView™ is the Desert Rotor universal interface at the heart of C-GCS — pair it with the radio you trust, drop in the modem you need, and command the airframe you’re flying.
The Desert Rotor GCS SmartView™ OSD is fully compatible with all Harris Aerial Carrier drones and easily integrated with most third-party UAVs and autopilot stacks.
The Auxiliary Bay accepts plug-and-play video receivers, transmitters, 4G/LTE radios, and Microhard™ modems — configure once, swap in seconds.
Every component selected for tactical reliability — from the Logic Supply embedded PC to the APEM Hall-effect joysticks and the Pelican™ 1510 chassis.
Full technical specifications, display, channels, RF compatibility, and ordering information — in a single field-ready PDF.
