GCS stands for Ground Control Station, which is a system used to control and monitor unmanned vehicles such as drones or UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). Operators use GCS to send commands, receive telemetry data, and sometimes view live video feeds from the vehicle. GCS can range from portable laptop-based systems to large, fixed installations. They play a crucial role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of unmanned systems, often providing interfaces for navigation, mission planning, and system diagnostics.
