ground control system (GCS)
We provide cutting-edge Ground Control System (GCS) solutions designed to meet the operational demands of modern UAV missions. We offer two advanced GCS options – AeroNav and G2Nav – developed in partnership with UXV Technologies.
G2Nav
The Rotron G2Nav is a next-generation ground control station engineered for stationary command of Rotron Aerospace’s advanced UAV systems. Designed for high-stability environments such as operations centres, tactical HQs, and airfield deployments, the G2Nav delivers precision control for extended missions where oversight, reliability, and sustained command are critical.
Radio-agnostic and UAV-agnostic, the G2Nav supports integration across Rotron’s full UAV portfolio, offering robust compatibility with a wide range of communication protocols. Its modular design allows mission-specific customisation, while the rugged construction ensures long-term performance in defence and aerospace environments.
Though built for stationary use, the G2Nav remains easily transportable and quick to deploy. It provides a powerful solution for large-scale or centralised UAV operations—offering dependable control, real-time feedback, and operational efficiency in even the most demanding static applications.
Modular Architecture
Based on a modular systems approach, the G2Nav features an open-architecture design and advanced capabilities, such as Swappable Radio Modules (SRM) and Nett Warrior compatibility. Two Swappable Battery Modules (SBM) also enable easy power expansion.
Highly customizable
The G2Nav offers customizable configurations with modular components, enabling users to tailor control interfaces, displays, connectivity options, and power settings to meet the specific needs of unmanned operations and industries.
Rugged
build
Built to IP65 and MIL-STD-810H standards, the G2Nav is engineered for operating in harsh environments, including extreme temperatures, moisture, and dust, delivering a mission-ready solution for diverse applications.
Radio Agnostic
The G2Nav is compatible with Swappable Radio Modules (SRM) and can be integrated with over 30 different radio module options, enabling operators to seamlessly switch between various radios and datalinks to meet diverse mission requirements.
AERONAV
The Rotron Aeronav is a mission-ready ground control station engineered to complement Rotron Aerospace’s high-performance UAV platforms. Purpose-built for seamless integration across our aerial systems, the Aeronav offers universal compatibility with a wide range of UAV communication protocols, ensuring flexibility across defence, aerospace, and industrial applications.
At the heart of the Aeronav is the rugged Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1, selected for its proven reliability in the most demanding operational environments. Designed for rapid deployment and field resilience, the system features Rotron-customised hardware, embedded firmware optimised for UAV mission control, and engraved branding for secure asset tracking.
Whether you’re operating in dynamic combat zones, remote infrastructure sites, or challenging airspace environments, the Rotron Aeronav delivers reliable, real-time UAV control where it matters most.
