Getac introduces CommandCore for multi-domain uncrewed system control in harsh environments

TAIPEI, Taiwan - Getac Technology Corporation in Taipei, Taiwan, announced its CommandCore rugged remote drone control solution, designed to integrate ground control hardware, software, and mission-specific payloads into a configurable platform for uncrewed systems operating in challenging environments.

CommandCore focuses on a modular Ground Control Station (GCS) architecture that combines durable computing platforms with configurable control interfaces for uncrewed aerial, surface, and ground vehicles. The system is designed to support real-time command-and-control, onboard data processing, and mission parameter management in challenging or harsh operating conditions.

At the core of the solution is a mission-ready GCS that can be built around several Getac devices, including the ZX80 fully rugged Android tablet, UX10 fully rugged Windows tablet, S510 rugged Windows laptop, B360 fully rugged Windows laptop, and X600 fully rugged Windows workstation. These platforms deliver high-performance embedded computing for sensor data ingestion, video processing, and control-loop execution in field conditions.

The GCS supports various form factors to suit different operational concepts, including integrated systems with built-in flight controls, modular setups with external control units, office dock configurations, and portable suitcase-style systems with dual displays for mobile command posts. This flexibility allows deployment across fixed, vehicle-mounted, and dismounted scenarios.

CommandCore is built with a scalable, open architecture to enable interoperability with third-party drone ecosystems and payloads. The system works with both Android and Windows operating systems, allowing integration with various mission software stacks, autonomy frameworks, and communication links. This design aims to support long-term system evolution and minimize vendor lock-in for defense and industrial users.

The platform is optimized for real-time operations, supporting low-latency control links, high-throughput video streaming, and processing of ISR data from onboard sensors. The ruggedized hardware is built to maintain performance under vibration, temperature extremes, moisture, and dust exposure, which are common in military, public safety, and utility field deployments.

For defense applications, CommandCore supports intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions by enabling operators to control multiple uncrewed systems and process sensor data from mobile or semi-fixed command posts. The system architecture is suited for multi-domain operations, where coordination across air, land, and maritime platforms requires synchronized data flows and resilient communications.

In public safety situations, the system allows quick deployment of drone-based reconnaissance for disaster response, such as wildfire monitoring, flood assessment, and search-and-rescue missions. For utilities, CommandCore supports remote inspection of infrastructure like power lines, substations, pipelines, and rail networks, using waypoint navigation and centralized control to lower personnel risk.
