Remote Detection of Suspicious Vehicles (RDSV)

Program Manager: Mr. Preston Marshall

The goal of the Remote Detection of Suspicious Vehicles (RDSV) Program is to develop and demonstrate an ultra low-cost, unattended ground sensor (UGS) network with long RF communication ranges and specialized algorithms. The RDSV UGS system provides vigilance in urban and rural operations at a low cost. The RDSV UGS features a unique high RF link margin that permits signals to be transmitted between buildings and walls to command and control radios including UAVs.

The results of this effort will provide the tactical warfighter the ability to detect activities of interest and determine appropriate courses of action to minimize loss of life and assist in mission accomplishment.
