What's next for the Pentagon after the Replicator programme?
Although the Replicator initiative has made several accomplishments, there are still multiple gaps to plug across the US Department of Defense (DoD) and its services.
The US Department of Defense has announced that FLIR's Endeavor Robotics has been awarded the US Army’s Common Robotic System-Heavy (CRS-H) contract.
The five-year production contract is worth up to $109 million.
The company will provide up to 350 Kobra UGVs for the CRS-H programme, which will provide a remote explosive ordnance disposal capability, as well as performing other heavy-duty tasks.
The Kobra UGV has a lift capacity of 150kg (330lbs) and can stretch up to 11.5ft to access hard-to-reach places. It can also climb over jersey barriers and fit into the back of an SUV.
