The ground control station (GCS) is a major component of the data collection and distribution system. The GCS subsystems include the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight controls consol, sticks to control, the payload monitoring and control consol, and the communication subsystem with UAV and other operators/commanders. Ground stations range from a small handheld remote controller, to a simple laptop computer, to a mobile truck, to comprehensive fixed central command stations. Human operators in GCS directly control the UAV and its payloads with communication signals. Two of the most common UAV personnel roles are the air vehicle flight operator (or controller, or ground pilot) and the mission payload operator. The chapter also presents the general features of GCS for various UAVs, the support equipment, and the GCS design guidelines.
