• Compact Chest-Mounted GCS

A chest-worn, ultra-lightweight controller ideal for operators who prioritize mobility and tactical flexibility. Designed for quick deployment and minimal profile, this controller ensures intuitive access without compromising on core functionality.

• Lightweight Modular GCS

A small-form controller built for endurance operations. Equipped with a hot-swappable external battery system, it supports extended field usage. The design includes options for both omnidirectional and patch antennas to suit operational RF environments.

• Flip-Display Compact GCS

This custom-designed controller features a foldable flip-phone architecture, merging a compact profile with a full-size, high-resolution display. Ideal for scenarios demanding both portability and interface clarity.

• Sunlight-Readable Large Display GCS

Built for high-data workloads and direct-sunlight operation, this controller features an ultra-bright, large-format display with sustained high nits output. Perfect for mission-critical monitoring and data-intensive operations. Hotswappable batteries.

• Remote / Headless GCS

The remote GCS configuration enables the controller to function in a slave mode, with the transmitter positioned remotely (wired or wireless) up to 100 meters away. Key features include:

Built-in magnetic base for rapid deployment on vehicles or static mounts.

LTE integration, enabling full control over any Odin airframe from virtually anywhere on the planet with cellular data access.

Dual-layer encrypted Zero Architecture VPN, providing resilient, secure communications across hostile or untrusted networks.
