Aardvark used DSEI on 14-17 September to unveil its RANG-R UGV and announce a significant MoU with a Saudi Arabian partner.
Though Aardvark developed RANG-R primarily as a logistics platform, the company maintains that the advanced toolkit and capabilities on the UGV will prove adaptable to match a vast scope of end-user operational requirements, from the military and border forces to firefighters battling bushfires in California and the Australian outback.
Aardvark CEO David St John-Claire explained that the initial impetus behind developing RANG-R came from existing customers who wanted brawn and resilience in a robust and survivable UGV.
