MQ-8B Fire Scout Interoperates with Army Remote Video Terminal

The Fire Scout will play a big role in the upcoming Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiment (AEWE) at Fort Benning, Ga. During AEWE, Fire Scout will perform many important Army UAS missions in support of the Infantry Brigade Combat Team.

The OSRVT video and data system enables warfighters to remotely downlink live surveillance images and critical geospatial data.
