The ground stations are built into cases, making for easy transport and deployment. The ground stations generally comprise a PC for programming and tracking the vehicle's mission, and an interface with joysticks and setting potentiometers for manual control of the vehicle and payload; the latter functions can also be performed via a PC if the customer wishes.

SURVEY Copter designs and produces the hardware part of the ground stations, as well as the software part, with design, ergonomics and HMI meeting the requirements of the application and the customer's objectives.
