DRS, Roboteam team for CRS-I
DRS Technologies and Roboteam have signed a strategic teaming agreement covering the development of a solution for the US Army's Common Robotic System – Individual (CRS-I) programme, DRS announced on 24 May.
The partnership will leverage DRS Technologies' production and platform systems engineering capabilities, and Roboteam's military robotics technologies.
The CRS-I programme aims to develop an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) for dismounted soldiers to conduct lower-level reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition; remotely clear danger areas; remotely detect chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats; and conduct explosive ordnance disposal and obstacle countermeasure operations.
Joseph Matteoni, vice president and general manager, DRS Sustainment Systems, said: 'We are excited to work with Roboteam to offer our customer a world-class robotic solution that provides dismounted troops with a superior capability to detect and mitigate threats.'
