New from iRobot is the next generation military robot, the Warrior 700 . Similar in design and functionality to its much smaller brethren the Packbot, the Warrior 700 retains the same functionality but scales it up, to a much larger,
more capable and beefier platform.
The Warrior 700 recently put through its paces in Washington D.C., is capable of performing
a plethora of multi-missions from Bomb Disposal, SWAT and Surveillance, to battlefield casualty
extraction. Weighing in at 342.5 lbs and capable of carrying a payload in excess of 150 lbs,
the Warrior 700 can reach speeds up to 9.3MPH, ford 30” of water, climb stairs/slopes up to
45 degrees all while being remotely operated from a distance of 2,624 ft away. In addition, all
onboard electronics have been hardened to military specs MIL_STD-461 and MIL_STD-464 and the Warrior
can traverse rugged outdoor terrain as well as navigate tight indoor quarters using its proprietary
‘dual track articulated flipper design’.
The first iRobot Warrior 700 units should be meeting the bad guys on a remote battlefield
In late 2009. Take a look at the battlefield casualty extraction video below; urban warfare will never be the same.
I think I played with something like this when I was a kid.
These brilliant American inventions keep us safe free. Our biggest enemy is ourselves. We now have appeasers running our government. That is the only way for our enemies to beat us. Liberals dont want to fund weapon systems. They think they can talk to the enemy. Just remember Chamberlin back before WWII.
