| Reconnaissance, Surveillance, Targeting Vehicle (RST-V) Advanced Technology Demonstrator |

Objective: Develop and demonstrate a highly survivable and mobile V-22 internally transportable ground vehicle to perform long range Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Targeting Acquisition (RSTA) missions in cooperation with Small Unit Operations.
Approach: This effort is a Joint USMC-DARPA Program that will result in a ground-up design and fabrication of a vehicle, capable of transporting a 3-4 man team to perform long range RSTA missions. High mobility and integrated survivability will be key technology drivers to provide a leap-ahead capability over any fielded or add on systems for current vehicles. Sensors and C4I systems are to be non-developmental but should leverage existing electro-optic and communication programs.

Deliverables: Within 36 months, a minimum of two chassis with full mobility, survivability, RSTA suite, and C4I suite.
Brief to Industry: An unclassified briefing of the program will take place on 23 April at the Naval Surface Warfare Center-Carderock Division. Pre-registration is recommended. The announcement is available below.
"THE RST-V PROGRAM FINAL SOLICITATION PACKAGE IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOADING. SOLICITATION RESPONSE PERIOD ENDS SEPTEMBER 15, 1997."
