More than a screen: How mobile ecosystems help drone OEMs turn controllers into operational hubs

With demand for drones ramping up across the national security and public safety spaces, the opportunity for OEMs is huge. But expectations for what a drone system must deliver are rapidly evolving. Government customers are no longer evaluating the vehicle alone. They are looking at how the full system collects, secures, shares and operationalizes mission data.

So what does this mean for the controller? 

This guidebook discusses the controller’s evolution into the connected mobile edge of the larger intelligence system, and the impact of this shift on OEMs. It explores:

  • The evolving expectations for drone systems as then move from uncrewed vehicles to integrated systems
  • The impact of shift from sensor to interoperable asset on the controller build vs. buy calculus
  • Must-have controller capabilities for emerging government demands
  • How Galaxy Tactical Edition helps OEMs get a faster, lower-risk path to scalable, interoperable controller development
