Future Combat Systems Reconnaissance and Surveillance Vehicle

Future Combat Systems Reconnaissance and Surveillance Vehicle

Part of the proposed Future Combat Systems This is one of the family of Manned Ground Vehicle MGV proposed for a lighter and more transportable system in which every member of the family of ground, air, manned, and robotic, systems all report to a network system of systems to allow network centric warfare. It is a system that proposes much but is in trouble with burgoning costs and many questions about the vehicles light weight and vulnerability to anti-armor weapons systems.

The XM1201 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.
