The Generic Ground Control Station fielded by the Republic of Singapore Air Force's (RSAF) UAV Command is the nerve centre for controlling flights by camera-equipped drones known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
The UAVs are used to observe the area of operations and can also direct artillery fire against enemy positions. Post-strike BDA can also be performed by the UAVs as they orbit the battlespace.
Mounting the GCS onto a Bronco allows UAV Command to keep pace with Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) manoeuvre units. The swimming capabilities of the Bronco give UAV Command more mobility over the battlefield as the vehicle can swim across rivers and move over soft terrain that would bog down wheeled vehicles.
Check out the Generic Ground Control Station - this vehicle is crying out for a sexier name - at the RSAF Open House this weekend at Paya Lebar Airbase.

Dear David,
Can I possibly publish some of your RSAF Open House pictures in my little blog: JackDi.com? I will put your link on my post.
I hope this would be OK with you.
You may email me at iam.jackdi at gmail.com
Thanks.
:-)
Dear Jack,
Please proceed.

David
Thank you very much David. :)
Will let you know once I have made my post.

Wow. This Open House, Laser JDAMs are everywhere.
I am impressed! But I don't see the F-16 carrying them, only the F-15SG.
3rd Gen RSAF, 3rd Gen Airpower, don't play play ok.
JDAMs? Nicez...i must be looking at other thing instead...
not just ordinary JDAMs, but the latest LJDAMs.
