Unmanned Ground Sensors (UGS) have seen resurgence in recent years for use in a growing number of remote
surveillance applications. These sensors can provide a wide range of information to assist an analyst in recognizing the
type of intrusion detected. The addition of sensor cued imagers has also gained popularity in extending the recognition
capabilities of sensors to allow identification of people and vehicles thereby expanding the mission capabilities of these
systems. We are now on the brink of the next advance in remote surveillance - unmanned video - which promises to
provide information far beyond recognition and identification of individuals. Knowledge of the intent of individuals
operating within an Area of Interest (AOI) is possible with the retrieval of collected video. Three technologies are
converging to drive remote video capability; (1) low power video processors allow advanced video functions including
video compression and automated target tracking to be applied at the video input point, (2) high bandwidth tactical radio
networks offering robustness and communication range beyond commercial networks are now available to exfiltrate the
video, and (3) low power sensors provide the ability to maximize system operational life through power management of
multiple tiers within the system. These advances have combined to create the Remote Video Surveillance Systems
which promise a leap forward in the situational knowledge provided by unmanned systems.
