Insitu introduces new version of UAV C2 system
Insitu has released a new version of its small-footprint common command and control system called ICOMC2, designed to enhance the capabilities of the UAV control software initially released in 2012.
ICOMC2 enables a single operator to control multiple unmanned vehicles using small-footprint, mobile hardware. Its open-architecture design allows users to customise capabilities with plug-ins and new applications.
The newly released ICOMC2 2.0 includes a mission commander mode, which increases situational awareness and integrates with other C4ISR systems, enabling ICOMC2 to provide or receive tasking between intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) systems. It also provides a lightweight mapping engine, full-featured Software Development Kit, lower memory footprint for mobile usage, and new video formats.
Ryan Hartman, senior vice president, Insitu programs, said: ‘ICOMC2 2.0 represents how Insitu is leading the way with small-footprint technology that is flexible and scalable. This technology signifies a quantum leap for customers by providing a UAS system that can task, process, exploit and disseminate information and effects to end users.’
