As a large unmanned aerial vehicle, the Autel Dragonfish series has long endurance and the ability to coordinate multiple tasks, providing support and assistance for patrol, inspection, firefighting, search and rescue, and other industries. Here, we will introduce the Autel Dragonfish ground control station.
What is a ground control station?
A ground control station (GCS) is a set of ground hardware and software that allows drone operators to communicate and control the drone and its payload by setting parameters for autonomous operation or directly controlling the drone.
Generally, GCS is dedicated to a specific model of drone, and there are also universal ground control stations on the market that are compatible with many drone brands, models and payloads.
The Autel Dragonfish ground control station can only be used for the Autel Dragonfish series, including Autel Dragonfish Lite, Autel Dragonfish Standard, Autel Dragonfish Pro and its compatible camera payloads and other accessories.
