Getac CommandCore drone control station

Getac has launched its CommandCore rugged drone control station for defence, public safety and utilities in Australia and New Zealand.

CommandCore lets customers combine Getac’s rugged hardware with industry-specific accessories, payloads and software based on their individual needs and use cases. The result is a comprehensive UAV/USV/UGV control solution that is fully adaptable and can be tailored to suit a range of challenging environments and operational scenarios, such as those found in the defence, public safety and utilities industries.

At the heart of CommandCore is Getac’s Ground Control Station (GCS), which serves as a centralised, mission-ready hub, designed for real-time data processing, drone control and overall management of operational parameters. Customers can choose between several different Getac devices depending on their GCS needs, including the ZX80 fully rugged Android tablet, UX10 fully rugged Windows tablet, S510 rugged Windows laptop, B360 fully rugged Windows laptop, and X600 fully rugged Windows workstation.

The form factor of the GCS can also be customised for maximum flexibility. Options include a fully integrated design with built-in drone controls and an accessory-type design that lets users separate the Getac device from externally housed drone controls as needed. Additional form factors include an office dock design and a comprehensive suitcase design with dual display for use as part of mobile command and control activity.

CommandCore has been designed to withstand harsh, unpredictable and mission-critical operational environments. Its scalable and configurable system architecture enables seamless customisation, expansion and adaptation to evolving operational requirements across a range of industries.

The drone control solution also integrates smoothly with diverse drone ecosystems, supporting interoperability with third-party technologies and long-term collaborative system evolution. Getac’s GCS is available in both Android and Windows options, while the stable, high-performance computing platform supports real-time, mission-critical operations in demanding situations and environments.
