Mobile ground control station
The mobile ground control station is integrated in a Mercedes Sprinter Van. It transports the three aircraft as well as all necessary flight equipment and maintenance tools. It accommodates 4 people during flight operations (pilot, flight manager, telemetry manager, and mission operator), and numerous screens, comfortable chairs, and dimmed lighting for optimal operational conditions. It can run up to 6 hours on internal batteries, and has an integrated air-condition system for heating and cooling.
In addition, it features powerful flood light illumination for nighttime operations, and an awning with sidewalls and heating for more extensive in-field maintenance work.
