Ground control and C2
Mission planning, vehicle control, alerts and payload workflows in a clear operator interface.

Mission software.
Clear control under pressure.
UK mission software, ground control and C2 integration for unmanned systems, including MAVLink, QGroundControl, ROS 2, telemetry and autonomy.
Mission software turns a vehicle, its payload and its data into one usable capability. RCDEN builds operator-centred control systems for unmanned and robotic platforms.
The operator needs one clear picture
A ground control system should show what matters now. It should make platform health, mission state, payload status and alerts easy to read. It should also make the next safe action clear.
We design the interface around the operator and the task. That may mean a focused QGroundControl adaptation, a dedicated control application or an integration layer that connects several systems.
Telemetry and integration
Platform, sensor and mission data moved through defined interfaces with useful health and event reporting.
Assisted and autonomous behaviour
Navigation and behaviours built within explicit limits, with human control and fallback states retained.
Practical open architectures
RCDEN can integrate ArduPilot, MAVLink, QGroundControl and ROS 2. These technologies provide capable foundations. The value comes from making them fit the vehicle, payload, user and assurance need.
- QGroundControl user interface and workflow changes
- MAVLink messaging, telemetry and command integration
- ROS 2 nodes, interfaces and robotic behaviours
- Payload control and sensor status
- Mission logs, alerts and diagnostic information
- Desktop, mobile and embedded operator applications
Autonomy with visible boundaries
Autonomy should reduce workload without hiding authority. We design human control, confidence, limits and degraded modes into the operating concept. The operator can see what the system is doing and why.
This approach supports safer trials and better engineering decisions. It also makes faults easier to find because the interface exposes state instead of masking it.
Software tested with the real hardware
Control software cannot be judged only on a desk. Timing, radio links, power state, vehicle dynamics and payload behaviour all affect the experience. RCDEN brings software and platform integration together so each can be tested against the other.
Bring us the difficult requirement.
We will help define a practical route from the operating need to a testable robotic capability.
