MKT’s Portable Ground Control Stations (PGCS) are ruggedized, field-proven solutions designed for reliable operation in austere and contested environments. Engineered to support multi-aircraft drone operations, these systems are optimized for both tactical mobility and strategic scalability.

Leveraging a Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA), PGCS units enable seamless integration of sensors, communication links, and mission software, supporting rapid upgrades and plug-and-play adaptability. This ensures interoperability with a wide array of platforms, payloads, and networks across the joint force.

PGCS systems are built to enhance Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) objectives by enabling distributed control, real-time data sharing, and cross-platform coordination across land, air, maritime, space, and cyber domains. With embedded edge computing capabilities, operators can process high-bandwidth data streams and perform sensor fusion at the tactical edge—enabling faster decision-making and reducing reliance on centralized infrastructure.

These control stations support Autonomous Mission Execution, allowing for preprogrammed and dynamic tasking of UAS assets without constant human oversight. This empowers operators to manage complex Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) while reducing cognitive load and increasing mission effectiveness.

Successfully demonstrated in international deployments and prominently featured at SOFIC 2022, MKT’s PGCS offer customizable form factors, technical specifications, and integration pathways tailored to mission-specific requirements—all within a robust interoperability framework that ensures future-proof alignment with evolving defense standards and coalition operations.
