Traditionally, Unmanned Vehicles (UxVs) were being purchased with their own stovepipe control segment (Ground Control Station or ‘GCS’). These GCS were, and in many cases still are, typically closed systems utilising proprietary interfaces. The proliferation of stovepipe control systems on a single C2 system raises issues concerning interoperability, training, capital investment, adaptation work, footprint and logistic support among others. Therefore, it becomes essential for end-users to develop the ability of commanding and controlling multiple UxVs as well as other sensors and delivering complex services (such automatic asset tasking, mission planning and re-planning or 3D representation of threats to name a few) using the same systems and environments (to rationalise costs and improve efficiency).

​

The CAMELOT platform architecture is based on a distributed system that will offer 1) scalability, 2) availability and 3) security capabilities, as required by the end-users.

The main modules integrated within the CAMELOT framework are:

 

Automatic Asset Tasking and Control (AATC)

Data Manager and Analytics (DMA)

Camelot Core Layer

Adapters

Middleware

Camelot Authorisation Layer

Rest API Gateway

C2 system
