Endeavor Robotics
FLIR recently acquired Endeavor Robotics. Endeavor Robotics makes infrared-cameras and sensors for many unmanned and manned vehicles. They also recently bought Prox Dynamics, the company behind the Black Hornet micro-drone, which is now used by the Army as a soldier-borne sensor. FLIR and Endeavor Robotics both competed for the CRS-H program, but FLIR won out.
Endeavor Robotics, a Massachusetts-based company, develops unmanned ground vehicles as well as other advanced technologies. The platforms of the company can be used in a wide range of applications, such as IED clearance or hazmat response. It has a strong track record of delivering UGVs. The company has also been awarded prestigious Programs of Record. It has delivered more than 7,000 platforms to 55 countries worldwide.
It is currently working on medium-sized robots, which will give soldiers greater maneuverability and standoff ability, as well as detect potentially deadly threats. The company's Centaur UGV is currently in the Army program.
U.S. Army
After evaluating the robot's performance in an engineering and manufacturing run-off, the Army selected CRS-I as its unmanned ground vehicle. The lightweight robot will have a wide range of payloads and be controlled by a universal controller. Open-architecture design will allow the Army's customization of the robotic vehicle for different missions.
The new system can carry four mission payloads: improvised explosives devices, heavy explosives ordnance, vehicle-borne IEDs, and more. It can travel up six miles per hour, and it can also clear 32-inch barriers. It weighs in at 700 pounds when unloaded and 1000 pounds when loaded. It has high-definition cameras as well as a robot manipulator.
CRS-I is the Army's first robotic program. It will weigh less than 25 pounds and can perform complex tasks such as moving heavy objects. The contract is valued $164 million. It also includes an annual production release and a low rate initial production phase. The next phase involves the delivery of 3,000 robots over the next 1 to 2 years.
