RuggON has launched the SPARK 7, a new handheld ground control station (GCS) that has been purpose-built to provide reliable and high-precision command and control of mission-critical UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) and unmanned systems.
Featuring a sunlight-readable 7″ 1080p multi-touch display and based around the high-performance Qualcomm Snapdragon 6490 processor, it is ideal for defense and public safety applications as well as inspection, surveying, drone delivery, and more.
The powerful controller offers secure long-range and low-latency connectivity, equipped with a MIMO RF module supporting a range of network topologies, as well as Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth. AES encryption protects your critical data, while frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology keeps the link stable even in challenging RF environments.
The SPARK 7 provides dual joysticks, a dedicated gimbal control, and programmable function buttons, allowing you to tailor the platform to your precise needs. 8GB of memory, 128GB of storage, and a MicroSD slot enable it to support virtually any application or data requirements, while a hot-swappable battery pack ensures that extended operations can be successfully undertaken without downtime.
The rugged and ergonomic GCS has been designed with IP-rated water and dust protection and can be easily operated even with gloves, making it highly suited to challenging outdoor deployments in harsh conditions.
