Command & Control Centers

We specialise in designing and building high-quality Command & Control centres tailored to the unique needs of your organisation. From concept to execution, we ensure that your C&C centre becomes an efficient hub for monitoring, communication, and decision-making.

A well-functioning and thoughtfully designed C&C centre is essential for making the right decisions at the right time. A poorly designed centre can lead to delays, miscommunication, and even operational errors. Therefore, it is crucial that your C&C centre is tailored to your specific operational requirements and workflows.

Our customised solutions are designed to manage and visualise the complex flows of information. We integrate technologies such as emergency provisions, cameras, data visualisation, and communication systems to ensure that your team has the resources needed for optimal performance. Middels onze expertise en ervaring in het uitvoeren van operaties, adviseren en ondersteunen wij onze klanten bij het ontwerpen, bouwen en integreren van C&C systemen. 

The challenges of a C&C system are:

Complex infrastructure: Combining multiple systems, such as sensors, communication equipment, and monitoring systems, requires a well-thought-out infrastructure.
Usability: Operators need to have quick access to crucial information. An intuitive interface and ergonomic design are therefore of great importance.
Scalable: The C&C centre must be flexible enough to respond to growing operational needs or technological advancements.
Safety: Sensitive data and operational information must be well protected against unauthorised access.

Our approach:

Analysis and consultation: Together with your team, we map out your needs and operational workflows. We take into account factors such as the nature of the operations, the number of users, and technical requirements..

Command Vehicles

A well-functioning drone system begins with a reliable and efficient control environment. Our customised command vehicles are designed to serve as mobile control centres, perfectly tailored to your specific operational needs. Whether it is a vehicle for inspections, security, or emergency assistance, we provide solutions that seamlessly integrate with your drone systems and other technologies.

Command Vehicles are fully customised and made to your specifications. Together with you, we determine the necessary functionalities and equipment, after which we design and build your layout. We offer, among other things, the following solutions: 

Design, installation and finishing of interiors and electronics
Built-in charging options
Monitors, network systems and cameras
Climate control systems for comfort and functionality in all weather conditions.
Storage space for equipment and accessories.

Our vehicles are built with sustainability, mobility, and functionality in mind, so you are always ready and prepared, anywhere and everywhere.

Backup and emergency systems

In the drone industry, reliability is crucial. Unforeseen circumstances, such as power outages or technical issues, can cause costly delays. That is why we design and implement backup and emergency systems that ensure the continuous and safe operation of your drone systems.

Our solutions include among others:

Emergency power supplies: Reliable backup systems for long-term and secure operations.
Failover-systems: Automatic switching to a secondary system in the event of failures. This applies to both power supply and data transmission and communication. Camera systems and sensors: We integrate external cameras, weather stations, and sensors. This provides you with a complete picture of the situation on site. Safety mechanisms: Technologies that protect your drone docking systems against unexpected failures.

Our systems can be read and configured remotely. In the event of a malfunction, we can carry out analyses and start debugging immediately and without delay. This minimises downtime for our customers and maximises uptime.

We design and build modular systems that are scalable, and we can integrate our systems into mobile solutions such as vehicles and trailers.

We also provide the mandatory NEN3140 inspections including reporting. Upon delivery, your system is fully operational.

Transport solutions

Protecting your drones and peripheral equipment is not a luxury, but a necessity. With our customised transport solutions, you are investing in the lifespan and reliability of your equipment, allowing you to focus on what really matters: successfully carrying out your operations.

Transporting drones and their associated accessories presents specific challenges:

Vulnerable components: Drones contain sensitive components such as cameras, sensors, and electronics. Even a small damage can severely limit functionality.
Different formats: Drones and peripheral equipment vary greatly in size and shape. A standard case often provides insufficient flexibility.
Regulations: In some cases, equipment must comply with transport regulations, such as those of the aviation industry. Our solutions can be custom designed to meet these requirements.
Extreme use: Whether it concerns inspections in rugged industrial environments or operations in remote areas, the transport cases must be able to withstand challenging conditions.

We assess your needs and support you in the process of fulfilling your requirements in the field of transport. Please contact us for the possibilities, or to schedule an appointment.
