We've been getting a lot of interest in our Wing GCS, the Ground Control Station for Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles (UAVs, or drones), so I thought it was time for an update.
The system was launched at Skytech back in April 2015 and and we're now getting ready for Skytech 2016 on 27th and 28th January at the Business Design Centre in London.
The latest build, shown in the photograph below, was for a customer in Crete.

| The Latest Wing GCS
Every Ground Control Station is custom
built, and we develop and refine the design each time we build one. Most
of the changes have been internal: improving the aluminium
frame, strengthening the screen supports, and modifying the laptop
mount. The more noticeable changes included a better keyboard, twin
aerial mounts and a larger capacity battery. There were also some
customer-specific requests such as fitting the Piksi
Real Time Kinematics (RTK) device from Swift
Navigation for centimetre level accuracy.
If you can make to Skytech, please drop
by. It would be great to meet new people at the event and to see some of the
people who have helped us to get the Wing GCS to this point.
