MDCS (Multi-Domain Control Station)

Software (GCS/Autonomy/Mapping)

Description

MDCS is a multi-domain command and control system developed from the IRIS GCS architecture that enables operators to manage multiple unmanned systems across different domains simultaneously. It provides real-time situational awareness and control for integrated missions involving land-based UGVs and UAS, naval USVs, UUVs, and UAS. The system fuses data from various sensors to create a comprehensive multi-domain display picture, allowing a single operator to coordinate complex operations across air, ground, and maritime environments.
