Urgent operations rarely allow time for preparation. Even with the best training, you must be ready to act immediately and be fully equipped at any moment. Whether it’s a sudden tornado that flattens neighborhoods or a wildfire sparked by lightning, there’s no time to waste.
There’s a problem! During a natural disaster or tactical mission, infrastructure isn’t always reliable. Cell service has dead zones when you’re halfway up the mountain. Power lines fall during a fire. Communication towers fall in a tornado. A command center is of little use if it’s an hour away from the disaster site.
Draxxon’s mobile command trucks ensure your deployment goes smoothly. From climate-controlled work areas to live broadcasting technology, our trucks are tactical hubs that ensure successful missions. Take a closer look at our mobile command trucks, both inside and out. See how they assist your team, no matter where an emergency takes you or what the infrastructure is like.
Explore the Interior
Whether you have a mobile command truck with a tow-behind trailer or a fully customized van, the technology and equipment are similar. Open the doors, and inside you’ll find the following.
Climate Control:
- Heat and AC keep operators comfortable when working long shifts. Shivering becomes an unnecessary distraction. If it’s too hot, it’s hard to stay awake during extended operations.
- A climate-controlled interior keeps computers and other computer equipment from overheating.
Command Stations:
- Ergonomic, heavy-duty chairs that allow for 360º movement.
- LED lighting eases eye strain and reduces operator fatigue.
- Workstations are self-contained cockpits with two or three operator areas and dry-erase countertops and walls.
Environmental and Mission Support:
- A BVLOS Flight Station provides dedicated controls for Beyond Visual Line of Sight for drone operations, where the drone flies well beyond the distance you can see.
- DX-POWER ONE is specialized and prevents generators from producing a surge that could damage equipment and impede your goals.
- Multi-zone climate control keeps your operators warm in cold climates without compromising your servers and computer equipment, which are set to a different thermostat setting.
Networking and Rack Equipment:
- CradlePoint 4G LTE routers prevent signal drops by accessing multiple cellular signals.
- Incorporate satellite integration to maintain high-speed internet connections in dead zones, which is useful if towers are knocked down in a storm.
- On-board technology features radio interoperability gateways that allow FEMA, fire, police, and other personnel to communicate without switching channels.
Visual Intelligence Wall:
- Dual HD daylight-readable monitors are at each station, allowing operators to see everything clearly, even if the doors are open to the blinding sun.
- The live broadcasting screen enables information to be sent out as needed.
- Monitors can be easily cast to another screen using HDMI matrix systems, which is useful for outdoor team meetings or news media updates.
On-Board Media and Recording
- Audio/Video patch panels make it easy to plug in external cameras, laptops, or tablets without running additional cables through a door or window.
- A network video recorder (NVR) enables teams to record all footage from body cams, drones, and masts for legal evidence, if needed, or for post-mission or post-incident review.
Explore the Exterior
We agree that the inside of a mobile command truck is essential, but the outside matters, too. Draxxon mobile command centers continue to support your team or mission by ensuring the benefits extend beyond the vehicle interior.
Connectivity and Signal Boosting:
- Auto-Acquire Satellite/Starlink Mount scans for stable signals through high-gain exterior antennas in dead zones and automatically connects to the strongest signal.
- External Input/Output (I/O) panels allow ground crews to view data or video without entering the mobile command unit.
Drone (UAS) Integration:
- Drone flight decks allow for rapid launch and thermal imaging.
- Go beyond by offering a rooftop flight deck with tethered drone ports.
- Multiple charging stations protect you from running out of power during a long mission.
- Tethered drone points connect drones to the mobile command truck for continuous operation.
- Thermal drone imaging focuses on body heat and covers more ground for faster location.
Power Redundancy and Access:
- Always have power, which is essential on long missions or incident commands.
- Integrate rooftop solar panels to provide lithium battery backup.
- Quiet-run generator housing allows you to power your mission control center without a noisy gasoline or diesel generator.
Powered Awnings and Privacy Enclosures:
- Update the team without bringing everyone inside the mobile command truck.
- Use a privacy enclosure around a powered awning to create an external meeting space that’s private and protected from the weather.
Rapid-Deploy Mast Systems
- 360º Pan-Tilt-Zoom PTZ cameras are movable to view the entire surrounding area.
- Quickly raise masts and set alerts to prevent damage if winds exceed a specific speed.
- Use telescoping masts to get the camera above fog or smoke.
Tactical Mobility and Chassis Upgrades:
- All-terrain tire packages provide excellent traction on any surface.
- A heavy-duty chassis allows you to drive up a narrow mountain road without getting stuck.
- Travel over any terrain with off-road capabilities and independent suspension.
Weather Station:
- Find out if any storms are coming faster than expected by viewing satellite weather maps.
- Keep on top of changing weather patterns and know when to pull your teams or require them to move to safe terrain.
- Learn whether winds are shifting and their speed, which is important for drone flights and monitoring wildfire paths.
- Monitor wind chills during cold-weather rescues or the heat index in the summer.
Features Draxxon Provides That Others Overlook
Ultimately, you make the final decision on the best mobile command trucks for your organization. Draxxon prioritizes mission-critical details that support your team, even if the situation changes unexpectedly. The “Draxxon Difference” provides exclusive benefits like these.
- Dedicated BVLOS flight stations with fold-down rooftop flight decks and tethered drone ports.
- DX-POWER ONE and Volta Power Systems partnerships for lithium-powered 24-hour “Silent Watch” capabilities.
- Future-proof modularity that enables easy upgrades as technology advances.
The work you do is specialized to your community, mission, and people. A mobile command truck for canine search and rescue needs monitors, mapping software, connectivity, and dog kennels.
One that’s for event security requires different equipment. That’s why Draxxon is a must. We know you’ll have your own specific blueprint for your mobile command unit, and we take your must-haves to customize the command unit you need.
Draxxon’s goal is to ensure your mobile command truck exceeds your expectations. Request a demonstration or contact us with your questions.
