Empower the warfighter with your tactical Android™ applications. The RDC enables the warfighter to utilize a single device to take command and control of unmanned systems, PTZ cameras, and sensors on the networked battlefield.
Develop an Android™ application to control your product. Run your app on the MPU5. Put your app into action with the RDC. Empower warfighters to command and control your product from the RDC – the same chest-mounted controller they use for all their computing. Help reduce SWaP on the soldier by delivering control capabilities via software. Design your platform for a common controller.
The RDC’s joysticks and buttons appear to Wave Relay® OS as a standard Gamepad Input Device. Applications designed to work with gamepad input will work natively with the RDC – right out of the box. As a standard part of the custom Android™-based environment, extensive Gamepad Input documentation is available for application implementation.
Design your applications to succeed in the future - the networked battlefield – where every team member can interface with assets on a common network. Develop your platforms for control from multiple concurrent users, providing arbitration so one user can drive a robot while a second user manipulates the onboard camera simultaneously. When users can interface with the platform as a team, they can consume data from platform and cameras, process data locally, and multicast alerts to the team – achieving the objective faster. Design for the connected battlefield – it’s where the future is headed.
Do you already have a Command & Control Android™ app?
The Wave Relay® MANET appears as a standard Ethernet interface within Wave Relay® OS, so apps can leverage the MANET like commercial apps would leverage Ethernet or WiFi. Build your apps the same way you would for any Android™ device, and utilize the many button, joystick, and touch screen capabilities available. We do the hard part - just load up your app!
