Getac Ground Control Stations (GCS)
Take full control of operations in the field. Discover reliable and fully customizable control stations for unmanned systems (UAV, UGV), built on Getac’s rugged technology.
Getac CommandCore | Rugged Ground Control Station (GCS)
Ground Control Stations play a vital role in enabling the command, monitoring, and control of unmanned (UAV, UGV) and remote systems across diverse operational environments.
The Getac CommandCore platform allows for the configuration of fully functional GCS units, serving as centralized hubs for command, real-time data processing, and operational management—even in the most stringent conditions. Designed to work seamlessly with widely used Command and Control (C2) and situational awareness software, the CommandCore platform is highly interoperable and vendor-agnostic. Its modular architecture supports customization tailored to specific mission profiles, offering configurable I/O ports, expansion interfaces, and advanced radio connectivity options to support Multi-Domain Operations (MDO).
Custom Devices as GCS: Key Benefits
Getac's rugged devices can be configured into powerful, portable Ground Control Stations, engineered for reliable performance in harsh field conditions across defense, public safety, utilities, and other mission-critical sectors.
Rugged Command Platform
Ensures stable control over remote systems, reliable situational awareness, and seamless operation for teams deployed in the field or in remote locations away from headquarters.
Customizable Control Interface
Offers layouts, physical controllers, and data input options tailored to the specific mission. This creates an intuitive environment for the operator, enabling rapid decision-making under pressure.
Modular Radio Expansion (Swappable Design)
A design focused on cross-platform interoperability. Swappable modules allow for quick adaptation of the hardware to various radio systems and communication networks.
Integrated Data Link (RF-Ready Architecture)
The platform supports a wide range of data transmission solutions, enabling secure, highly interference-resistant communication (Data Link), even in highly congested RF environments.

Flexibility of Form and GCS Design
The CommandCore hardware architecture offers maximum flexibility in selecting the command station format, addressing the specific requirements of operators and the nature of the mission. Depending on the needs, users can choose from the following design variants:
| Design Variant | Operational Application |
|---|---|
| Fully Integrated Design | A tablet/laptop permanently combined with physical controllers (joysticks) into a single unit, ensuring maximum mobility on the move. |
| Accessory-Type Design | A system that allows for easy detachment of the Getac device from the external control housing, enabling its use for other tasks. |
| Suitcase Station | A comprehensive command station enclosed in a rugged suitcase, featuring dual displays, ideal as the core of a mobile control center. |
| Office Dock | Enables quick connection of field equipment to office infrastructure to download and transfer data after mission completion. |
