COMMAND & CONTROL

The powerful multi-capable system software of
the CAMCOPTER® S-100 is intuitively controlled
through an operator interface. The control work-
station displays the position of the UAV as well as
status information in real time on a user-friendly,
aviation-style instrument panel.

The payload control workstation allows the operator

to control the payload while also having access to
mission planning information, video-viewing, recording
and frame capture. Depending on the user’s
needs, the S-100 can be commanded from two
laptop computers or may be seamlessly integrated
into a larger system.

THE CUBE
The CUBE acts as a hub between the UAV, all

It is entirely versatile, having been designed either
for portable use or permanent installation on a
vehicle or ship. Its networkability allows it to be

vehicles from either a single shelter, a moving
vehicle or from a ship’s command and control center.
