Rockwell Collins introduces small mission computer for UAS

Issue No. 17 | September 01-15, 2012

Rockwell Collins has introduced the GPC-3000, a small mission computer that offers UAS customers advanced mission capabilities with unmatched security features.

“UAS customers will benefit from a host of new capabilities that are housed within the GPC-3000,” said Dave Schreck, director of UAS and Control Technologies for Rockwell Collins. “We’re leveraging our expertise in open systems architecture, multi-level security and sensor fusion; bringing them to bear into this product offering.”

The computational horsepower of the GPC-3000, in conjunction with Rockwell Collins’ robust software environment, enables hosting a variety of advanced mission and payload applications, including digital video recording and playback, multi-payload sensor fusion and other applications for intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance operations.

AAI unmanned aircraft systems’ Shadow tactical UAS will be the launch platform for the GPC-3000. Its predecessor, the GPC-2000, is being fielded on AAI UAS most recent Shadow RQ-7B configuration, an upgraded system dubbed Shadow V2 by AAI’s US Army customer.
