Generation IV Ground Control Station

Key Features
Lightweight - Two Person Transportable
Onboard Automatic Antenna Tracking System
360° Continuous Rotation Ability
NEMA Data Output
MGRS Grid with Latitude, Longitude and UTM

L-3 Unmanned Systems’ Generation IV Ground Control Station (Gen IV GCS) is a highly portable command and control station that is easily transported in the standard configuration, or can be adapted to be built into a shelter.

The standard configuration has 1350 MHz and 900 MHz frequency hopping uplinks, and an 1800 MHz downlink; all transmitted and received through the automated tracking dual-parabolic antenna array. This array is designed for 360° continuous rotation to track the unmanned aircraft during flight.

Included in the Gen IV GCS are a rugged shipping container, mission control module with slide-out payload operator monitor, payload inputs, payload controller, air vehicle controller, notebook computer with mission planning software with NEMA data output and MGRS grid and all cabling required for operation.

The Gen IV GCS can be tuned for different frequencies, and has an optional intercom system (ICS) available.

The Gen IV GCS is the preferred command and control system for L-3 Unmanned Systems’ Viking 100 and 300 Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) as well as the TigerShark UAS.

The Gen IV GCS can also be configured to control a variety of other unmanned aircraft. Please contact L-3 Unmanned Systems for more information.
