Artist's conception of the Reconnaissance and Surveillance Vehicle
The Future Combat Systems Reconnaissance and Surveillance Vehicle (RSV) features a suite of advanced sensors to detect, locate, track, classify and automatically identify targets under all climatic conditions, day or night.
Included in this suite are:
- a mast-mounted, long-range optoelectronic infrared sensor
- emitter mapping sensor for radio frequency interception and direction finding
- chemical sensor
- a multifunction radio frequency sensor
The RSV also features the onboard capability to conduct automatic target detection, aided target recognition and level-one sensor fusion. To further enhance the scout's capabilities, the RSV is also equipped with Unattended Ground Sensors, a Small Unmanned Ground Vehicle with various payloads and two unmanned aerial vehicles.
