Program and product displays and demonstrations will include:

  • Andros™ Titus robot, the company's lighter, faster, stronger and more intelligent unmanned ground vehicle designed and built for a variety of missions.
  • Carry-All Modular Equipment Landrover (CaMEL), a mid-sized unmanned ground vehicle that 'lightens the load' for soldiers and can perform many other missions, including casualty evacuation, mine clearing and resupply. CaMEL's hybrid design is not only fuel efficient but also produces exportable power for charging batteries or powering other systems.
  • Mobile Armed Dismount Support System (MADSS), an armed robotic platform based on the CaMEL platform that serves as an 'armed wingman' increasing the firepower of soldiers on foot.
  • Non-Intrusive Threat Detection System (NITDS), which "sees" beneath the surface of just about anything – solid earth, shipping containers, vehicles, luggage – to find and identify threats including explosives, chemical weapons and radiological materials.
  • SAdIE – for Synthetic Adaptive Intelligence Entity – an avatar who can fill many roles, including interactive training and maintenance support.
