Automatic Relay Ground & Utility Station - ARGUS
A modular ground station that can monitor all of GTSC's vehicle technologies.
The ARGUS Program is GTSC's initiative to develop modular, scalable ground control infrastructure for GTSC's UAV operations. Designed to evolve alongside the club's emerging flight capabilities, ARGUS provides reliable telemetry, communications relay, and mission planning tools across a range of testing environments. This program enables GTSC's ambitious flight programs to explore cross-functional integration between electrical, software, and operational capabilities to support our record-breaking, innovative aircraft ambitions.
ARGUS Mk1
ARGUS MK1 is a compact, easy-to-use ground control station designed for quick deployable for field testing. Specifically, ARGUS MK1 will support our Hyperion flight test campaign, and it will help us test prototypes and test aircrafts in order to accelerate our development in the Kestrel and RBV-1 programs. MK1 will have full integrated radio comms and self-contained power. MK1 is ideal for early flight testing, manual override safety, telemetry logging for fixed-wing UAVs operating in LOS environments.

ARGUS Mk2
ARGUS MK2 is a full-scale, trailer-integrated mobile ground station supporting SATCOM, BVLOS telemetry, multi-UAV operations, and extended, complicated mission planning. It includes antenna tracking systems, networked computing infrastructure, and a dedicated control console. MK2 is designed to support our Kestrel and RBV-1 final program aircrafts for precision performance and sustained success even in novel, austere environments.
