Default Wireless video transmission

Hi Folks,

I just found this group. Not sure if this is the right place to ask,
but here goes:

I am presently a student studying for my MSc in Applied Physics. Next
semester I have a course in Electronics which is going to require me to
do a project. Now I have worked with radio control vehicles before
(ROV's), but this time, I wanted to build a vehicle and have it be semi
autonomous, ie with a microcontroller. Along with that, I will need a
fairly long range (say, 1 mile) video transmitter to put "eyes" on the
vehicle. I have worked with the short range, commercially available
wireless video cameras that use the pinhole camera and have a range of
about 300 feet unobstructed. I was wondering if anyone on this forum
knows of a kit that I could purchase to build one myself (I may be
mistaken, but an assembled unit probably costs a lot more). If this is
not the right forum, pls let me know that too. Links, ideas, etc are
welcomed.

TIA,

Joe
