Teledyne FLIR’s new SUGV 325 robot is similar is design to other systems in the company’s portfolio such as the small FirstLook and SUGV (formerly SUGV 310) and falls in-between these two in size.
Teledyne FLIR launched the newest member of its family of UGVs, the SUGV 325, at Modern Day Marine 2024 in Washington, DC, earlier this month.
The SUGV is a tracked multirole platform with articulating flippers and can be used for EOD, surveillance/reconnaissance operations and inspections.
Matthew Bruni, Teledyne senior manager, US business development-SOCOM noted that the vehicle can “carry lethal payloads; this is not just an EOD robot,” noting that testing is taking place without further details.
Bruni added that while there are no deliveries yet, the special operations community is interested, and it is being “evaluated by the DoD for end user groups [and we aim to continue providing what the warfighter needs in combat.”
The SUGV 325 weighs 9.1kg with batteries and has a runtime battery of between four and eight hours, depending on the type of battery mounted.

It comes equipped with an HD camera, long-wave infrared camera, stitched 360° camera, and two-way radio. The vehicle’s max speed is 11.3kmh and the system has a maximum distance of around 1km within line-of- sight.
The system is operated by the company’s uPoint Multi-Robot Control System which features a tablet with touchscreen and a hand-controller.
With articulating flippers, SUGV 325 is designed to overcome obstacles up to 30cm including stairs and when outfitted with the optional five degrees-of-freedom manipulator payload, the SUGV can lift up to 9.1kg.
