The operation of the claimed universal automated workplace of the operator of the mobile ground control station is as follows.

For operation, a supply voltage of +27 V DC is supplied to the operator of the mobile ground control station connected to the ground control point by information communication lines and power circuits of the UARM. By means of power supply means, the operating voltage is supplied to all equipment from the UARM of the operator of the mobile ground control station (monitors, computing device, communication equipment, function key panels, coordinate control information input device, working space lighting lamp, blower fan).

Through the switching panel, information channels are distributed to a telephone set, an intra-complex communication control panel, an Ethernet line for a computing device.

After supplying power to the communication equipment, the UARM operator can carry out negotiations using a telephone set or intra-complex communication equipment.

Before starting the loading of the operating system (hereinafter referred to as OS) of the computing device, the UARM operator carries out the procedure for reading the APMDZ key and enters the password. In case of successful completion of the verification, the OS and special software (hereinafter - SPO) are loaded. The commander of the crew remotely using the information network of the MNPU or directly at the UARM itself, using the dialogue means, determines the powers of the operator - depending on his role in the combat crew (pilot, operator of payloads, decoder).

The information arriving at the UARM of the operator of the mobile ground control station via information channels is processed in a computing device and displayed as a graphical interface on two information display devices (monitors). For the operation of the UARM of the operator of the mobile ground control post for the intended purpose, the operator interacts with the computing device using the following operational controls and displays located on the table top: information input means, panels of functional buttons and a coordinate-control information input device (joystick). The connection of input devices to the calculator is carried out according to standard protocols using wired connections.
