The Tactical Control System (TCS) is a command and control system for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. It can also aggregate image data from a variety of military intelligence sources. This makes it a single stop for gathering military intelligence.

The NATO version of TCS is a standard called STANAG 4586. This standard came out around 2005, where the TCS started about 1997. Both transfer data via secure TCP links, and both have publically publish the protocol for sending and receiving commands.
