2-10 UNCLASSIFIED Figure 5 CDL Antenna Mounting and Landing Skid The CDL transmissions were received on the ground by the Cubic-developed TP-CDL transceiver. The TP-CDL was provided by the Marine Corps Systems Command’s TP-CDL Project Officer. The TP-CDL relayed the video transport stream onto a local network. The address of the transport stream was set to “broadcast,” so any address on the LAN could receive the stream. A local client program, running on the laptop used to control the TP-CDL transceiver, was used to display the video for the TP-CDL operators. This program was developed by the Cubic engineers and is an extended version of the VCD software viewer that includes the capability to de-multiplex, decode, and display the metadata in an MPEG-2 transport stream. A screenshot from one of the test flights is shown in Figure 6. UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED 2.4 Ground Systems UNCLASSIFIED Figure 6 Digital Video Stream Ground Display – with Metadata The Joint Tactical Common Operational Picture (COP) Workstation (JTCW) and VideoScout® ground systems used in the exercise represented the C2 situational awareness (SA) and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) visualization systems designed for battalion Combat Operation Centers (COCs) and Company–level Fires Support Teams. The exercise involved integrating these systems with the STD-CDL transceiver and USIP-formatted data stream to present the video and metadata in real-time. 2.4.1 C2 Ground Systems Architecture The C2 ground systems architecture as shown in Figure 7 included multiple networked components to facilitate communication and data dissemination. The TP-CDL and a “controller” laptop comprised the ground receive station. The TP-CDL receives the data stream from the aircraft and multi-casts it on the network as a UDP stream. Using this multi-cast configuration, 2-11
