Block 1 Key Capabilities:
• Multi – Platform integration
• High quality video display for recognition/identification
• DVR, TIVO like capability – 10 hours of recording video
• Telemetry Data Linked to FalconView w/ 2525 Symbology
• JPEG Files With Embedded Metadata
• Off Target Calculations
• Tri-Band (C/L/Ku) Extended Range Antenna, up to 50km
• Integration into A2C2S, Stryker, Apache, DCGS-A,
TACTICOMP, etc.
The OSRVT kit consists of UHF Modem, cables, software
and an optional extended range antenna. Software
supports decoding Telemetry and META Data from multiple
UAS, links data onto FalconView maps, and supports Off
Target Calculations.
OSRVT Fielding: 2395 on contract – Over 2,000 shipped to
date.
The Future:
• Integrated into A2C2S, Stryker, & Apache
–Working Integration into MRAP, OH58, UH60,
ACS, RG31 Mk5e, CPOTM
• Apache VUIT-2 like integration on other platforms
(OH-58/UH-60)
• OSRVT POR Approved expected 2nd Qtr FY 10
• AES Encryption – FUE 4th Qtr FY09
• (Type I Encryption) – FUE 3nd Qtr FY10
• DDL – FUE 1st Qtr FY10
