Improving Operational Outcomes with Satellite Connectivity
FAQ's For Satellite Enabled Technologies In Military Applications
Ground Control’s satellite-enabled solutions are designed for mission-critical reliability. Hardware designed for military personnel in the field, is IP-rated, shock-resistant, dustproof and proven in extreme conditions, from deserts and jungles to arctic and maritime deployments. Devices are compact, lightweight, and where rewquired, optimized for low power consumption.
Our devices are built with interoperability in mind. We support standard communication protocols and offer API access, allowing seamless integration into existing command and control (C2), GIS, or logistics platforms.
Devices like the RockSTAR are engineered for ultra-low power draw and can operate for weeks or months on a single charge, depending on reporting frequency. This makes them ideal for long-duration deployments or covert tracking applications.
Yes. Ground Control supports defense customers worldwide and can assist with global deployments, training, and integration. We have over 20 years of experience working with military teams and contractors, delivering secure, field-ready solutions on time and at scale.
The satellite data transmissions can be configured and encrypted to government and military-grade protocols, with secure data pathways and optional private APNs. Devices are hardened for field deployment, and we provide secure backend systems with access control and audit logs.
Yes, our cloud-based platform, Cloudloop, allow you to monitor, control, and manage thousands of deployed devices from a single dashboard. You’ll have access to real-time asset locations, message logs, alerts, and configuration tools, accessible from secure, authenticated sessions.
Our tracking solutions are compact, lightweight, and operate silently with low RF signatures, making them well-suited for covert missions or special operations. Units can be configured for infrequent burst transmissions to further reduce detectability while still maintaining critical connectivity.
RockSTAR APNT is the solution when GPS or GNSS is unavailable. RockSTAR APNT is a rugged, handheld satellite device designed for environments where GPS signals are unavailable, degraded, or actively jammed. Utilizing Iridium’s positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) service, it ensures secure location tracking and secure two-way messaging, making it ideal for military personnel operating in contested or high-risk areas.
Yes. Devices like the RockAIR feature hybrid connectivity, automatically switching between cellular and satellite based on network availability. This reduces airtime costs while maintaining connectivity assurance for mission-critical data.
