Custom Installation
PCS Veronte Control Station contains all the necessary components to perform a wide range of operations with UAVs and other unmanned vehicles. The flexible architecture permits to adapt the GCS to the specific needs of the drone system.
Stand Alone Control Station
Veronte PCS is a rugged ground control station hardware designed for outdoors use, thanks to the aluminum enclosure with IP54 protection and the adjustable height mast
Multiple Control Stations
The system permits to simultaneously operate various drones and ground control stations. Control can be handed over to a separate GCS at any time during the flight.
Veronte T28 Tracking Antenna
Operations requiring outstanding communication ranges can combine the benefits of Veronte PCS with Veronte Tracker for enabling auto tracking of directional antennas.

Customizable Expansion Bay
The expansion bay enables the installation of datalinks or additional electronics and devices within the protective enclosure, compliant with IP54 standards.
Custom Datalink Installation
LThe expansion bay within Veronte PCS ground control station permits to install custom datalinks thanks to the available ports for communications and power. Typical radio installations are Silvus Technologies, DTC, Microhard or Veronte SDL modules.
Antenna Extension
Veronte PCSpermits to install a wide range of antennas, including single and double antenna configurations. It can be easily attached to the Veronte Tracker for directional antenna installation with auto-tracking capabilities.
Joystick & Peripherals
Easily enhanced Veronte PCS control station by connecting extra sticks and peripherals, avoiding connecting them through the non critical PC. It can be configured to trigger specific routines or for manual control of the aircraft.

High Reliability GCS
DO178C & DO254 Compliance
The embedded Veronte Autopilot 1x provides the control station with DO178C & DO254 certifiable software and hardware. It permits to manually control the drone and activate failsafe routines in the event of losing the main control station computer.
Robust Construction
The aluminum enclosure with IP54 protection allows the operation of the system in all weather conditions by protecting the electronics from light rain and harsh environments. Rugged connectors and a 2h backup battery is also included in the PCS.
Heat Dissipation
The control station’s aluminum construction allows the datalink and internal electronics to dissipate heat. It enables the use of a high power system for operation in extreme environments with the confidence that it will not fail due to high temperatures.
Long Range Communications
Veronte PCS is the perfect choice for long range communications. The adjustable height mast permits the antennas to be installed at an altitude of 3m to ensure a clear line of sight (LOS) among the ground control station and the drone. Furthermore, the optimized design permits to minimize the RF losses on the cable and to install the GCS in an open space far from the GCS laptop, this is achieved thanks to the ethernet and WIFI connectivity.
Veronte Tracker Integration
Long range drone operations requiring outstanding performance can make use of the Veronte Tracker. It enables the compatibility of the Veronte PCS with yagi or parabolic grid directional antennas. The PCS contains the datalink and all sensors needed to control the T28 tracking antenna solution to automatically point in the direction of the aircraft to maximize the communications range.
