Vehicle system: XLRS receiver, digital or analog video transmitter and optional autopilot.
XVTR Long Range Radio Control Receiver and Video transmitter full HD.
Select your GCSD4 model
GCSD4V2:
Ground Control Station D4 V2
It has different models:
– GCSD4V2 with integrated radio RF output from a single antenna, working range 100Km, the most economical and easy to transport.
– GCSD4RSV2 with Smart Antenna (SMBTS), working range 150Km.
– GCSD4RRV2 with Smart Redundant Antenna (SMRBTS), working range 200Km.
Status:Available product.
GCSD4V3RI:
Ground Control Station D4 V3 with integrated radio RF output from a single antenna, the most economical and easy to transport.
You can use directional antennas with a tripod for a good range.
If you use directional antennas, they cannot be of much gain or the manual orientation of the antennas becomes very complicated, so the real working range is less than with a tracker antenna.
Useful for:
– Automatic flights without video with integrated RC control. Effective ranges of 100km approx.
– Flights with analog video. Economic long-range system up to 50-75Km.
Status:New product, available to reserve, delivery time 60 days approx.
GCSD4V3ST:
Ground Control Station D4V3 and smart antenna tracker (SATPRO), RF diversity, it has more range and security.
The radio control and video system are integrated into the antennas and that improves performance.
The antenna tracking is automatic and the pilot can focus on other tasks. More info…
Useful for:
– Very long range automatic flights without video (250km or more LOS) with RC control.
– Manual or automatic flights with very long range analog video (100-200km).
– Automatic or manual flights with digital video up to 50Km (more range, please consult).
If you need to partially or fully fly NLOS, you can use XLRS repeaters in real time or add LTE or SATCOM (Iridium) radio modems to the XLRSD4 system if the delay of the RC control is not important. if you have questions please contact us. More info LOS-NLOS.
Compatible receiver:XVTR Long Range Radio Control Receiver and Video transmitter full HD.
Status:New product, available to reserve, delivery time 60 days approx.
Remember: The two models use the same 6th Generation radio modem, the differences in ranges are due to the fact that one is diversity, the different combinations of antennas or utility and ease of use, so even with the same maximum radio range, in the practice changes the actual range of work. More info about range.
Third Generation GCSD4
GCSD4V3 is a third generation of product with many changes, now with a tracker antenna, full HD digital video and a significant increase in connectivity, WIFI, LTE, STACOM, there is a notable evolution with many improvements since the GCSD4 product was created to early 2018.
Design with character
It’s a small suitcase low weight, easy to transport and very compact.
The suitcase is sized to be easy to transport it contains a very complete Radio Control system with sensitive and professional RC joysticks, switches, buttons and specific instruments to show the necessary information of the D4 system at all times, it is prepared to carry out missions with aircraft or vehicles autonomous and / or manual.
The Radio Control is independent of the PC, this guarantees a high security in the system in case of possible breakdowns in the PC while carrying out a mission.
It has 4 color displays for the flight instruments, one for PC and one for video which can be the 2nd of the PC.
It isn’t an integration, the electronics are designed and manufactured specifically for the functions of a Ground control Station.
Special system functions
Control different UAVs without changing models
The GCSD4 sends raw raw data from Joysticks, Encoders, Pots, Push Buttons, and Switches.
This, together with the fact that the receiver has its own mixes and adjustments, makes it possible, easy and safe to control different UAVs without the need to change the model as in amateur systems. There is no limit on the number of models.
The RF system has IP addressing (similar to ethernet) with 255 subnets and 255 UAVs per subnet.
Practice risk-free with the integrated Aerosim Simulator
Optionally you can use the Aerosim simulator on the GCSD4 to practice and have the XLRS system simulated even with real flight scenarios.
Pass control of the UAV between multiple pilots
The XLRS system allows passing control of the UAV between pilots in different locations with various base stations.
Telemetry reaches all pilots simultaneously as long as they are within the coverage radius or connected to the internet.
Planning software and creation of missions for autonomous vehicles
GCSD4V3 are compatible with any software for topographic missions, automated planning of missions with drones, mapping, routes, etc… that are compatible with the Mavlink protocol such as: Mission Planner, QgroundControl, UgCS…
By default the GCSD4V3 has Mission Planner installed but any other software you need can be installed.
Compatible with most autopilots
The XLRS_D4 system is compatible with autopilots using the Mavlink protocol such as: Pixhawk, PX4, Cube Orange, CUAV, Pix32, etc.
It is also possible to work with other special autopilots since the system has a radio modem with transparent data link, you can contact us for more information sales@dmd.es.
Designed and Manufactured in Europe
Made in Europe by us, DMD (Digital Micro Devices).
We are regular manufacturers of Ground Control Stations for professionals and specialists in radio modems, also the radio modems of the D4 system is designed and manufactured by us.
