S-PLANE offers robust and flexible Ground Control Station (GCS) solutions for manned, unmanned and optionally piloted aircraft systems. These solutions are tailored for a variety of configurations, including fixed, containerised, vehicle-mounted, and man-portable GCS, and even Aircraft Control Stations (ACS) installed to manned aircraft. We deliver optimised and comprehensive mission and payload situational awareness to both aircrew and remote operators. This is made possible through the integration of S-PLANE’s Paragon operator software, as well as seamless connectivity between the GCS, UAVs, Air Traffic Control (ATC), and operators and pilots in manned aircraft.
Paragon is S-PLANE’s advanced, user-configurable HMI solution for airborne systems designed to simplify command and control (C2), mission planning and the exploitation of airborne ISR sensor payloads across both manned and unmanned platforms.
At the core of Paragon is an advanced 3D graphical interface that enhances situational awareness and supports efficient control of single- or multi-vehicle missions. Its modern, configurable and context-sensitive interface reduces visual clutter while prioritising critical mission information, helping operators maintain clear visibility of surveillance targets, vehicle telemetry and mission status while managing complex operations with greater confidence and focus
Built on a layered architecture, S-PLANE’s Ground Control Solutions provide the communication, routing, simulation, command and control, and piloting functions required to enable seamless, scalable solutions for your modern GCS.
This network of ground control solutions supports a range of communication methods including S-PLANE’s TRACKER+ with LOSCom, and BVLOS with SatCom, ensuring reliable connectivity across various operational environments. Routing is managed by the Ground Data Terminal (GDT), while simulation modules enable system testing, mission rehearsal, and operator training without requiring live flights.
Each S-PLANE Ground Control Console (GCC) can be configured as a Remote Piloting Station (RPS), a Payload Operator Station (POS) or a Flight Test Engineering (FTE) console, making it adaptable to a wide range of operational demands. Primary Flight Controls (PFCs), and hard I/O are interfaced to our innovative Remote Piloting Units (RPUs), providing high-resolution situational awareness and responsive control interfaces. RPUs and Paragon appliances also interface directly to the GCC for an optimised and safe experience throughout all phases of flight.
