The SUGV, a smaller and lighter version of the PackBot, provides the warfighters with real-time awareness of critical situations and allows them to complete dangerous missions from safe standoff distances.
The SUGV variant will also provide enhanced processing, sensor and communication capabilities and is expected to be available by 2012.
iRobot has already delivered 45 SUGVs to the US Army as part of the low-rate initial production contract for the first brigade set of BCTM Increment 1 capabilities.
