“Upgrading robots with the latest technology will allow for more interoperability among systems.”

The US military service branches have been using Endeavor robots since 2002.

Over the years, the US Army has acquired FirstLook, small unmanned ground vehicle (SUGV), PackBot, and Kobra robot systems from Endeavor.

The company is currently developing the next-generation medium-weight robot under the $158m US Army’s Man Transportable Robotic System Increment II programme contract awarded in 2017.

The robot will be designed to offer enhanced standoff capability to soldiers and safeguard them against several lethal threats.

In December, the company provided design details of its new Scorpion multi-mission, ‘back-packable’ unmanned ground vehicle (UGV).
