US Navy, ABOARD USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT: As F-14 Tomcat aircraft 207 of the “Blacklions” of Fighter Squadron (VF) 213 launched the morning of Dec. 11, history was made.
For the first time, a forward ground controller, with the call sign of “Antidote,” located on the ground near Baghdad, was invited “into” the cockpit of the aircraft via the Remotely Operated Video Enhanced Receiver (ROVER) system.
“The new system allows forward ground controllers to see what the aircraft is seeing in real time,” said Lt. j.g. Will Parish, radar interceptor officer. “There is no time delay in the system.”
ROVER allowed Antidote to see real-time images acquired by the aircraft
