GCS

What
A Ground Control Station (GCS) is a land- or sea-based control center that provides the facil-
ities for human control of remotely-piloted aircrafts in the air or in space.
X100
You can control the X100 with the Trimble tablet PC GCS. Although the X100 is automatic, you
need the GCS to manage the aircraft before, during and after the flight. The GCS also has a
modem attached to its back to establish wireless communication with the aircraft.
