Rockwell delivers SRTV to US Army
Rockwell Collins has delivered its Secure Real Time Video (SRTV) solution to support the US Army's Manned Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) operations, the company announced on 12 October.
SRTV enables video captured by UAS payloads to be viewed in the cockpit of military helicopters in real time during MUM-T missions.
Rockwell Collins has implemented MUM-T capabilities through the integration of a third-party Common Data Link transceiver.
The effort leveraged the open systems architecture design and interfaces provided by Rockwell Collins’ Common Avionics Architecture System (CAAS), allowing seamless integration of video and mission data from UAS.
Troy Brunk, vice president and general manager, airborne solutions, Rockwell Collins, said: ‘Giving army pilots access to real-time video streams in their cockpits will directly improve their ability to successfully execute missions more safely and efficiently. In addition, the proven, open systems architecture approach we use allows us to quickly deliver this capability to our other customers in a highly cost-effective manner.’
