The miniature ground control unit (MGCS), is contained in a small-sized aluminum suitcase that can be carried abroad a pick-up truck or similarly sized military vehicle. The unit operates on 12VDC (with an internal emergency back-up battery lasting 30 minutes). The MGCS connects to an external RF box, containing all the ground data-link components.

Uplink
The primary uplink channel broadcasts on L/S/C/X/Ku bands (in accordance with customer's request) at 15 watts, with an omni directional antenna and 9600 baud data flow rate. The secondary uplink channel broadcasts in UHF(Narrow band) at 15 watts, with omni directional antenna and 9600 baud rate.

Downlink
This channel broadcasts on L/S/C/X/Ku bands (in accordance with customer's request). Video and telemetry are synthesized and the link is capable of frequency change as well as video encryption (optional).
 
Mission planning, execution and debriefing
Flight program - with up to a 100 waypoints, each point is configurable in position, altitude, velocity and task. Program can be created, modified saved and uploaded in mid flight.
Payload interface - the system provides an advanced control over a wide range of cameras, in which, first and foremost, the Microview, in addition to other manufacture's cameras. EMIT can also accommodate any particular request by client.
Payload control - includes rate-control (via joystick) as well as continuous pointing to a specific target. Camera footprint is presented on a digital map to assist in quick and precise intelligence gathering.
Mission debriefing - video from the mission is digitally recorded on cassettes. Flight data is also recorded, with high resolution, in files within the mission computer. Playback is immediate with slow/fast/step-by-step capabilities.
