The Reconnaissance Robotic Vehicle (R2V) is a small lightweight Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) designed to perform reconnaissance, search, detection, perimeter monitoring, chemical detections and reporting functions.
Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV)
Wireless Control via 802.11g- Reliable range of 500 meters under line-of-sight condition
- Onboard front and rear view fixed IP addressable cameras
- Onboard Pan-Tilt Zoom surveillance IP addressable camera
- Continuous GPS location, bearing, and speed information displayed on the OCU
- Two-way audio communications
- Wireless monitoring of UGV battery condition and wireless signal strength
- Average, non-stop drive time of 3 hours
- Average loiter time of 7 hours
- Vehicle speed of over 10 mph
- Traverses 30-degree grade under full load
- Recharging time of less than 2 hours
- Automated image capture for creating panoramas
- Multiple-use RS-232 remote sensor interface
- i.e. ChemPro 100 Chemical Detector
Operator Control Unit (OCU)
Rugged and portable transit case- Battery powered, operating time of over 180 minutes
- Daylight viewable color LCD display
- Embedded recharging power supply for OCU & UGV
- Graphical User Interface (GUI) of all UGV and OCU functions
- Keyboard interface to UGV & OCU functions
- Joystick interface for driving and pan-tilt camera control
- Continuous GPS information of UGV and OCU locations
- Customizable map area showing UGV and OCU locations and distances between them
- Multi view display of all UGV camera information
- Screen capture of images, stored and recalled for intel or to send out via email
- Local display of multiple-use RS-232 remote sensor interface information
- Network connectivity to forward system, GIS, video, and alarm data to viewing terminals on the local network or remote locations over the internet
- Portable tripod mounted high gain onmi-directional antenna
Multi-UGV Networked Configuration
One OCU- Up to 4 UGV's
- Multi-UGV network hopping of sensor and camera data
- Extended range via multi-UGV network legs for non line-of-sight operations
- OCU can view and control each UGV, one at a time
- A remote sensor alarm situation from the ChemPro 100, etc. is displayed immediately, no matter which UGV is selected for operational control
- Cameras from previously selected UGV can be used to aid driver in positioning the currently selected UGV
