— About
Built for the pilots the industry forgot.
TacLink C2 started as a frustration. The tools existed, but none were built for the people actually doing the work: the independent pilot, the small commercial team, the professional who had outgrown consumer apps but could not justify enterprise software.
— The gap
Drone ground control software has not moved in years.
The open-source ground stations pilots have relied on for a decade are powerful but dated. They were built by engineers, for engineers, and never rethought for the way modern operations actually run.
The professional platforms that built real interfaces cost what a small commercial pilot earns in a year. They were built for government contracts, not for independent operators.
Everyone in the middle has been making do.
— What we're building
Modern software for serious operations.
TacLink C2 is a desktop ground control station designed around the pilot, not the engineer or the procurement department. It unifies mission planning, fleet telemetry, airspace awareness, and flight review in a single application, built on open flight protocols so it works with the aircraft you already fly.
— How we build
Three commitments.
Pilots first.
Every decision starts with the person flying. If it does not make you more capable, more aware, or more in control, it does not ship.
Awareness is a safety feature.
Telemetry, position, battery, airspace: everything that matters, visible at a glance. Clarity is not just good design. It is how you land without surprises.
Built for the field.
This is not software for a slide deck. It is built for pilots making real decisions, under real pressure, with real consequences.
— Where we are going
Start with pilots. Scale with the industry.
We are starting with the people who know this problem firsthand: hobbyists who have outgrown consumer apps, prosumer pilots running small paid work, independent professionals who have been making do with tools that were never really built for them.
As drone operations become standard infrastructure in mapping, inspection, and public safety, TacLink C2 is being built to scale with them. The platform stays the same. The ambition gets larger.
Now
Hobbyists and prosumers
Serious enthusiasts, multi-drone pilots, and independent operators.
Next
Commercial operations
Mapping, survey, inspection, cinematography, public safety teams.
Future
Enterprise and agency
Large-scale deployments and time-sensitive operations.
