Rugged. Reliable. Ready for the Operator.
In modern ISR operations, the Ground Control Station is more than just a controller — it is the operator’s lifeline. Every decision, every maneuver, every mission depends on a system that performs without compromise.
The new HEIGHT Ground Control Station (GCS) has been engineered from the ground up to deliver exactly that: rugged reliability, modular flexibility, and effortless operator control.
Built for Harsh Environments
Operational environments are unpredictable. Dust, rain, shock, vibration, and temperature extremes are part of the mission — not exceptions.
The new HEIGHT GCS is designed to meet military-grade standards:
- MIL-STD 810H compliant
- MIL-STD 416G compliant
- IP65 rated
This means the system is protected against dust ingress and water jets, while also being tested for durability under demanding field conditions. The non-slip leather-textured grips and reinforced housing ensure stable handling even in wet, cold, or high-stress scenarios.
This is not a commercial tablet with joysticks attached.
This is mission-grade hardware.
Reliable Power: Hot-Swappable Battery System
Downtime is not an option.
The HEIGHT GCS features a hot-swappable battery pack, allowing operators to replace the battery without shutting down the system. This ensures:
- Continuous mission operations
- No reboot delays
- Seamless battery changes in the field
The secure battery latch and release system ensures fast replacement while maintaining mechanical integrity during operation.
Extended missions demand continuous power. The GCS delivers.
Modular & Configurable: Built Around Your Mission
No two missions are the same. That’s why flexibility is at the core of the design.
Swappable Radio Modules
The GCS supports modular radio options, including integrated RF modules (e.g., Microhard pMDDL 1624, 2W). The swappable radio architecture allows operators to:
- Adapt to different frequency requirements
- Upgrade communication capabilities
- Configure mission-specific communication setups
This modularity protects your investment and ensures long-term adaptability.
Configurable Controls & FastKeys
Operators can configure:
- 4 programmable function buttons (F1–F4)
- Toggle switch
- Dual thumbwheels
- Multi-axis joysticks with Hall sensors
- Dedicated gimbal joystick with shutter
This allows teams to tailor the interface to mission workflows, reducing cognitive load and increasing operational speed.
When seconds matter, intuitive control makes the difference.
Designed for Operator Efficiency
A system can be rugged — but if it’s not intuitive, it slows down the mission.
The HEIGHT GCS combines durability with operator-centric design:
- 7” Full HD (1080P) sunlight-readable display
- Multi-touch outdoor-ready screen
- Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 6490 processor
- Android 14 OS
- Auterion Mission Control
- 8 GB RAM / 128 GB storage (expandable via MicroSD)
- WiFi 6E / Bluetooth / Ethernet
The sunlight-readable display ensures visibility in bright outdoor conditions. The ergonomic layout allows single-operator handling with natural thumb access to primary controls.
A built-in loudspeaker, tripod mount, USB-C charging, USB-C/DP output, USB 2.0, and Ethernet connectivity provide seamless integration into broader mission systems.
The result:
Less friction. More focus.
Ergonomics Meets Durability
The GCS features:
- Hand-free design with integrated handle
- Non-slip grip surfaces
- Balanced weight distribution
- Tripod mount compatibility
Every curve and button placement is engineered for prolonged use in the field. Whether handheld or tripod-mounted, the GCS remains stable, comfortable, and precise.
