and sustainment of the VideoScout systems until the
RVVT program of record systems are fielded, which
is scheduled for FY 2016. Milestone B is scheduled for
FY 2013, and Milestone C is scheduled for FY 2015.
The Marine Corps procured a total of 599 VideoScout
systems during FY 2010 and FY 2011 and is considering
an engineering change proposal to meet a Suite A
(Type 1) encryption requirement for VideoScout.
REMOTE VIDEO VIEWING
TERMINAL (RVVT)
Description
The RVVT allows viewing and exploitation of
video and metadata from multiple unmanned aircraft
systems and manned LITENING pod-equipped aircraft.
As a program of record, the RVVT will replace
the previous two generations of remote viewing terminals
(ROVER and VideoScout) that were fielded
through the Urgent Universal Need Statement process.
RVVT will also assume the operations and sustainment
of these legacy systems.
Operational Impact
RVVT provides the Marine Air Ground Task
Force (MAGTF) a more complete view of the battlefield
by allowing Marines to view video from various
theater and organic intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance assets that are in the MAGTF area of
operations in a compact portable form-factor. RVVT
allows Marine forward air controllers, joint tactical air
controllers, and commanders at regiment and below
to view real-time video, capture and exploit the data,
and receive platform metadata for precision targeting
thus increasing battlespace awareness and enabling the
warfighter to characterize and engage threats more effectively.
Program Status
RVVT is in the pre-materiel solution analysis
phase. The current focus of the program is maintenance

WIDE FIELD OF VIEW PERSISTENT
SURVEILLANCE (WFVPS)
Description
In response to a Joint Urgent Operations Need
Statement (JUONS) from the U.S. Central Command,
the Marine Corps is developing and fielding a ground
receive station (GRS) with automated data handling
and intelligence analysis that will enable Marine Forces
to employ a dedicated Wide Area Airborne Surveillance
sensor payload on Marine Corps organic unmanned
aerial system (UAS). WFVPS will be able to downlink
wide area images from any Common Data Link (CDL)-
compliant wide area system, and will direct collection
from the Wide Focal Plane Array Camera (WFPAC).
In near real time, it will generate automated tracking
of vehicle-sized movers and perform intelligence fusion
on a subset of the imagery. Post-mission, WFVPS
will generate automated tracking of all vehicle-sized
movers and perform intelligence fusion across the entire
mission area and duration.
WFVPS is one of four multi-service programs
supporting the WFPAC quick-reaction capability in
response to the JUONS. As part of the MCISR-E, the
GRS will be integrated into the DCGS-MC program
of record.
