Drone (Remote) Carrier Control System, TO, pg.304-5.
I don't quite understand the relationship between the DCCS and the additional 0.5 tons per controlled drone unit.
1.If I buy a single DCCS, do I control a single drone? Or must I add 0.5 tons to control it? And my crew increase by 1?
2.If I buy a single DCCS and 1 ton to control two additional drones, do I now control three drones with three additional crew, or two drones with two additional crew?
*(I envision this as the electronics to send a receive signals (the DCCS) and the three control interfaces (Monitor, keyboard, etc.) to control three drones operated by three people.
3. Is there any purpose to mounting more than 1 DCCS? For example, I want to control a Company of 12 units from my support vehicle. I should only need one DCCS (2 tons), and 6 tons to control my Company, right?
If I want to operate a drone BATTALION, I would need my support vehicle to mount a single DCCS and 18 additional tons to control all 36 units.
Thanks.
Edit-I believe the DCCS has no control interfaces, so modified my question to say I must buy a DCCS and a single interface for 2.5 tons and a single crewman to control a single drone.
