RCS – Remote Conning System
I have coined an acronym for the remote nautical control system I am designing and constructing for my roboboat project. I am calling it (as least for now) an RCS which stands for Remote Conning System. It has some precedence of use (display) in real ships control as can be seen in the following link:

There may be many others links to similar systems but this one provides an excellent presentation of what I am trying to accomplish with model boats and ships well before I discovered this link. I added the prefix term “remote” because of course, the Captain of a scale model must “take the con” remotely.
The link above is showing just the display of CON data but if you follow other links in the left column you will discover additional information about the IBS (Integrated Bridge System) and other control systems.
The reason I changed to conning instead of control is because it just sounds so much more a comfortable nautical term and as I stated, there is precedence. HA!
