Ground Control Stations

Ground Control Stations (GCS) are dedicated facilities or systems where operators monitor, manage, and control unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones. They serve as the command hubs, providing real-time communication, navigation, and data analysis to ensure safe and effective drone operations. GCSs typically include computers, software, and communication equipment that enable operators to plan missions, track drone locations, and respond to any issues. They are essential for applications like surveillance, delivery, mapping, and military operations, ensuring that drones operate safely within their designated parameters from the ground rather than relying solely on onboard controls.
