VCU
Guide unmanned vehicles safely with the system control from Alpha Robotics.
The VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) is a system control developed by Alpha Robotics consisting of various hardware and software specifications to safely guide unmanned vehicles (UAV/UGV). Here, the available base vehicle is not so important initially. Rather, the focus is on enabling the respective system operators to interact with their system in a way that is weather-independent, ergonomically smart and, if necessary, of long duration.
VCU II Wolf R1 | Sprinter
The perfect complement to the Wolf R1 as a tactical unit
In addition to the mobile remote control solution for the Wolf R1 via tablet, the VCU II based on a Mercedes Sprinter chassis supplements the Wolf R1 to form a tactical unit for long-distance command and control and to allow the Wolf R1 to enter hazardous areas without the need for personnel. It is controlled via a long-range radio link. The operators in the VCU are supported here by aerial reconnaissance using drones with normal and thermal imaging cameras and by the vehicle-side cameras of the Wolf R1.
By integrating the VCU II into the TacticNet, it is possible to make the images from the drones and the Wolf R1 visible in the TacitcNet app for authorized emergency services.
