AAI developed the One System Ground Control Station (OSGCS) as the core of the Shadow® Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System. Today, its use is expanding to other unmanned aircraft platforms including the U.S. Army’s extended range/multi-purpose, or ER/MP, system.
The OSGCS receives and disseminates battlefield video through state-of-the-art aircraft operator and mission payload operator terminals, as well as mission planning consoles. Its design also complies with NATO standardization agreement (STANAG) 4586, enhancing interoperability among international military forces by supporting the operation of numerous allied unmanned aircraft systems.
In addition, the OSGCS can be reconfigured for use with any unmanned aircraft system. Configurations include: |
| - |
The Shadow OSGCS, which is based on commercial, off-the-shelf components and features a modular design with redundant hardware, a UNIX-based operating system and mature software.
|
| - |
The ER/MP OSGCS, a STANAG 4586-compliant system protected in a climate-controlled S-280 U.S. Army shelter and mounted on a standard five-ton medium tactical vehicle. The ER/MP OSGCS’ state-of-the-art operator consoles can be used for aircraft command and control, payload control and weapons launch.
