Leenn080-- Remotely Operated Video Enhanced Receiver

Indispensable: About 85 percent of all air-to-ground strikes are now facilitated via the Remotely Operated Video Enhanced Receiver, or ROVER system, Lt. Col. Greg Harbin, a senior Air Force forward air controller, told a Capitol Hill audience on Feb. 14. “I would not be alive ... were it not for [ROVER],” said Harbin, who recently returned from a combat deployment and is now assigned to the Air Force Secretariat as a lead subject matter expert on close air support and precision targeting. “The ability to see where a bomb is going to hit first fundamentally changes our business.” As of today, more than 3,000 ROVER units are deployed in theater. In addition to the Air Force, the system is in use with Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and 15 coalition partners, he said. “It is the embodiment of the phrase ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’,” said Lt. Gen. Donald Hoffman, USAF's top uniformed acquisition official, at the same event. Originally ROVER technology fit on a laptop computer, but has evolved into a hand-held device. The system takes video streams from targeting pods and cameras on unmanned aerial vehicles and feeds them to battlefield airmen working directly with ground forces.

美空军在对地作战中广泛使用地面远程引导系统
        “空军杂志”网站：美空军官员近表示，在85%的空地支援作战中大量使用了“远程操控视频增强型接收机”（ROVER）系统作为主要导引设备。目前，美空军在战区部署了3000多套该型导引系统，同时美陆军、海军、海军陆战队以及15个盟国也装备了该系统。该系统起初是装备在便携式笔记本电脑上，目前已经改进为手持式设备中使用。该系统使用的视频采自目标区内无人机机载目标指示舱和摄像头，而后传输给地面上空军导引人员使用。Indispensable: About 85 percent of all air-to-ground strikes are now facilitated via the Remotely Operated Video Enhanced Receiver, or ROVER system, Lt.
