The RV provides an effective platform for RSTA Squadrons and battalion scouts to perform reconnaissance and surveillance operations. The RV accommodates seven personnel, including crew.
The recce troop is organized into a headquarters section, a mortar section, and three recce platoons. Each of the recce platoons is organized with four Stryker reconnaissance vehicles, mounting either a 12.7 mm M2 .50 cal or a Mk 19 40 mm grenade launcher; the lead truck mounts a long range advanced scout surveillance system alongside its main weapon. Each vehicle carries a squad consisting of a 3-man vehicle crew and a 4-man scout squad for dismounted reconnaissance (6-man squad if augmented with linguist). Each recce squad in the platoon has assigned a human intelligence collector (35M HUMINT). The mortar section consists of four 120-mm self-propelled mortars (Stryker variant) and a fire direction center.
Operational capabilitiesedit
The MAV Reconnaissance vehicle is based on the ICV variant. The Reconnaissance vehicle is based on the ICV platform due to the close parallels of operational requirements and battlefield capabilities between the two systems. The Reconnaissance vehicle is an organic vehicle to the ICV maneuver formation and helps maximize the commonality of the platform, while simultaneously reducing the maintenance footprint and variety of logistics support.
