Riverine & Intercoastal Operations (RIO)
Abstract
RIO will demonstrate and transition technologies and operational concepts for persistent situational awareness in the Intercoastal and Riverine areas. RIO will demonstrate the value of remotely monitoring maritime areas of interest with U.S. Navy and international (Colombia) partners. RIO will enable situational and Maritime Domain Awareness through unattended surveillance and advanced reconnaissance of the riverine environment from a Mobile Operating Base, supporting the Battlespace Awareness and Force Protection capability areas. Persistent detection and monitoring of riverine activities will be accomplished through networked Unattended Ground Sensors and sensor data used to enhance localized situational awareness. The first operational demonstration will be held at Stennis Space Center and will focus on the non-jungle element of RIO which is of interest to both the U.S. Navy and the Department of Homeland Security. This demonstration will be observed by U.S. Navy Operational Test and Evaluation Force (OPTEVFOR). The second RIO increment will focus on the jungle environment with a Technical Demonstration in Belize for Colombia and Belize. This Technical Demonstration will culminate with a Letter of Observation provided by OPTEVFOR.
