ReconRobotics announces USMC Recon Scout order
ReconRobotics has been awarded a contract for 126 Recon Scout XT micro-UGV kits by the US Marine Corps (USMC) through the Robotic Systems Joint Project Office (RS JPO).
The $1.7 million order is the largest USMC order for the company to date, and delivery is expected by 30 April.
‘Driving this series of orders are soldier requirements for throwable micro-robot systems that are much smaller and easier to deploy than the 30 to 60 lb Small Unmanned Ground Vehicles (SUGVs) that were widely used over the last decade,’ the company said.
‘Unlike the SUGV, the 1.2 lb (540 g) Recon Scout XT micro-robot is deployed at the fireteam level, i.e. one robot for every four to five soldiers, to provide situational awareness and standoff distance as the team clears compounds, investigates suspected IEDs, or searches attics, culverts and crawl spaces.’
The XT can be thrown from some 120ft, and is able to see in the dark. The system serves to transmit video reconnaissance through walls and doors to a small handheld operator control unit held by the operator at a distance from the area being surveyed.
