UAV/UCAV COMMAND AND CONTROL STATIONS
Mission Management, Real-Time Data, Continuous Control
UAV and UCAV Command & Control Stations are mission-critical operational centers where flight control, mission planning, real-time data exploitation, and—where applicable—weapon system management are conducted. These stations require high-bandwidth data flow, low latency, and maximum operational reliability.
MILSHEL shelter solutions are purpose-designed to ensure secure, ergonomic, and sustainable operation of UAV/UCAV ground control stations in demanding field conditions.
Operational Architecture and Interior Layout Design
Command & Control stations typically include the following elements:
Key Elements
- Flight control consoles
- Video processing and analysis systems
- Ground data link terminals
- Satellite communications (SATCOM) modules
- Encryption and cybersecurity infrastructure
- Mission planning software suites
Layout
MILSHEL shelter structures enable these components to be positioned for optimal ergonomics and operational efficiency.
Key highlights include:
- Console configuration aligned with operator ergonomics
- Modular rack/cabinet infrastructure
- Vibration-isolated flooring system
- Noise control and electromagnetic isolation
Data Security and Electromagnetic Protection
UAV/UCAV systems transmit real-time video and telemetry. Data integrity and electromagnetic protection are therefore essential for mission effectiveness.
MILSHEL shelter solutions support security through:
- EMI/RFI-protected structural body design
- Faraday-cage compliant architecture
- EMC-compliant internal cabling
- Secure power and data feed-through panels
- Equipotential bonding and grounding system
enhancing both system performance and information security.
Thermal Management and System Continuity
Ground control stations rely on high-performance computing and video exploitation capabilities that generate significant heat. Thermal instability can directly impact performance and reliability.
For this reason, MILSHEL UAV/UCAV shelters integrate:
- Precision-controlled HVAC systems
- Redundant cooling infrastructure
- Temperature and humidity sensors
- Smart monitoring and alarm systems
to maintain a stable operating environment.
Mobile and Fixed Configuration Options
UAV/UCAV Command & Control stations can be configured to match different mission profiles, including:
- Vehicle-mounted mobile control stations
- Trailer-based field solutions
- Fixed-base ground control centers
- Rapid-deployable tactical systems
MILSHEL shelter solutions provide a mission-tailored, modular architecture with scalable configuration options.
Power Management and Operational Assurance
During mission execution, power loss is not an acceptable risk.
MILSHEL infrastructure supports uninterrupted operations through:
- Integrated power distribution panel
- UPS and battery backup systems
- Generator integration
- Overvoltage and overcurrent protection
ensuring continuity and operational resilience.
