Worthington Sharpe Ltd
"Focus on the job, not the piloting"
UK engineering firm (est. 2005) making the Wing GCS portable ground control station for UAVs, ROVs, and counter-drone operations.
Worthington Sharpe Ltd, incorporated on 22 July 2005 and registered at Unit 1.3s Halton Mill, Mill Lane, Halton, Lancaster, England LA2 6ND, is a mechanical engineering design and product development company focused on unmanned systems ground control. The company's primary product is the Wing GCS, a fully integrated Ground Control Station designed for operators of UAVs, ROVs, and remote manipulators. The Wing GCS is built around Worthington Sharpe's patented Wing Control Device, a single-hand controller enabling simultaneous manual piloting and mission planning while the operator's other hand manages camera gimbal and aircraft systems via keyboard and secondary joystick.
The unit integrates a 24-inch outdoor-viewable screen, built-in computer, telemetry compatibility with Pixhawk, DJI, and other autopilot systems, configurable component bay, and quick-release leg assembly into a portable field workstation. A Pelicase-packaged dual-screen variant fits in standard overhead airline lockers, enabling rapid worldwide deployment. The system also supports counter-drone command and control and has been applied to swarm UAV operations.
Early development work focused on uninhabited aerial vehicles; the company has since extended expertise to sub-sea oil and gas ROV applications. Worthington Sharpe is listed in the Unmanned Systems Technology supplier directory and RoboticsTomorrow company directory, serving defense, survey, and inspection operators.
