Pearson Engineering’s BEACON Remote Control System (RCS) has been designed and developed to integrate with existing and future fighting vehicles. BEACON allows crewed fighting vehicles to be used as optionally crewed robotic assets, and is applied to all of Pearson Engineering’s work on modern robotic combat vehicles (RCVs). This approach enables operator control from a safe distance and removes soldiers from harm’s way.

The integration of robotics, autonomous systems, and AI is fundamentally transforming the modern battlefield, furthering force protection and enhancing tactical advantage. Our Remote Control System represents a culmination of extensive global research, development, trials and testing, and is now established as a distinct, standalone product.

The BEACON system provides safe and comprehensive remote control over existing legacy ground platforms and mission equipment. The system provides a simple means to changeover from crewed to remote control operation as required. The system demonstrates established compatibility with Pearson Engineering’s Front-End Equipment (FEE) and other attachments, including the Full Width Mine Plough and Lane Marking System (LMS), as well as seamless integration with third-party systems such as the Linear Demolition Charge System (LDCS).

Beacon is engineered for reliability in challenging environments, featuring modular, robust hardware. Its design is intentionally simple and scalable, facilitating rapid integration with a diverse range of platforms. This adaptability positions BEACON as a strategic asset for modern military inventories.

Operational flexibility is ensured through two distinct remote-control methods: a portable solution for dismounted soldiers using an Operator Control Unit (OCU), or an integrated command station within a dedicated command vehicle. Both options significantly enhance operational safety.

Our proven BEACON system delivers a reliable, secure, and technologically advanced solution, specifically designed to protect military personnel during critical combat engineering operations.
