The BDRVT-178 is based on DO-178 principals, and allows an operator to take "supervised usage" (LOI-4) control of unmanned vehicles across multiple service branches due to the open architecture.
This enhanced version of the One System Remote Video Terminal (OSRVT) supports video and telemetry from a number of UAVs such as Shadow, Predator, I-GNAT, Raven, Pioneer, Hunter, and the Warrior. OSRVTs are mobile systems used to view live video and telemetry data from numerous manned aircraft andor UAVs.
Unlike the OSRVT, the BDRVT-178 affords an operator the ability to control the sensor payload on an air vehicle. With an enhanced graphical user interface (GUI), the BDRVT-178 user can select, annotate, and track targets.
