BRITEdge 11-1 Limited Objective Experiment

Abstract

This report summarizes the results of a limited objective experiment to demonstrate the capability of ROVER technology to provide real-time full motion video surveillance of the U.S.-Mexican border in support of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents. The CBP agents saw significant value in ROVER 4 and ROVER 5 for use in the mobile vehicle to support command and control (C2), and for the Tactical ROVER being used by dismounted agents patrolling the border. Follow-on testing is expected using an updated version of Tactical ROVER to provide tactical users with a transmit capability and also support the Digital Video Broadcasting -- Terrestrial (DVB-T) waveform that is presently used by the CBP.
