CommandCore offers customisation options for optimal operational efficiency
Getac Technology Corporation, a provider of rugged computing and mobile video solutions and a manufacturer with advanced in-house capabilities, has launched its new CommandCore rugged drone control solutions
CommandCore enables customers to combine Getac’s rugged hardware with industry-specific accessories, payloads, and software tailored to their specific needs and use cases. The result is a comprehensive UAV/USV/UGV control solution that can be tailored to suit a variety of challenging environments and operational defence scenarios.
CommandCore features Getac’s Ground Control Station (GCS), serving as a centralised, mission-ready hub for real-time data processing, seamless drone control in extreme conditions, and overall management of operational parameters. Customers can choose from a range of Getac devices to 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 GCS’s form factor can also be customised for maximum flexibility. Options include a fully integrated design with built-in drone controls and an accessory-type design that allows users to separate the Getac device from externally housed drone controls as needed. Additional form factors include an office dock design and a suitcase design with dual displays for use in mobile command and control activities.
CommandCore has been designed to withstand harsh, unpredictable, and mission-critical operational environments without compromising on performance. Its rugged design ensures reliability in the field, while its system architecture enables customisation, expansion, and adaptation to evolving operational requirements across various industries.
Command Core can integrate with diverse drone ecosystems, supporting interoperability with third-party technologies and long-term collaborative system evolution. Getac’s GCS is available in Android and Windows options, while the computing platform supports real-time, mission-critical operations in challenging situations and environments.
CommandCore facilitates seamless drone operations in extreme terrain and high-pressure situations, like those regularly encountered by utility crews in the field:
- Utilities: Enables utilities professionals to remotely inspect large-scale infrastructure and assets such as powerlines, substations, pipelines, and railways using waypoint guidance from a centralised operations centre. Beyond large-scale monitoring, CommandCore provides remote control to rapidly assess hard-to-reach rural areas, minimising the need for crews to physically navigate high-voltage or hazardous terrain.
Amanda Ward, EMEA senior director of Technology and Services, Getac Technology Corporation, said, “As the use of drones becomes increasingly widespread throughout numerous industries around the world, demand for comprehensive remote control solutions is also growing significantly. CommandCore answers this demand, providing professionals who work in challenging environments every day with a highly customisable rugged control solution they can rely on to get the job done when it matters most.”
