Eurosatory 2022: Roboteam and SMARTSHOOTER unveil an integrated solution – A TIGR UGV utilizing the SMASH Hopper
With a precise hit capability, the armed medium-sized UGV provides tactical maneuvering forces the ability to hit their target from a safe stand-off distance while also providing Ground-Based Air Defense against drones
Roboteam, a leading global provider of tactical ground robotic systems, and SMARTSHOOTER, a world-class designer, developer, and manufacturer of innovative fire control systems, unveil an integrated solution: a tactical ground robot utilizing the SMASH technology that ensures precise hit capabilities as well as air defense against drones (C-sUAS).
A highly mobile, all-weather system capable of operating in any terrain, Roboteam’s Transportable Interoperable Ground Robot (TIGR) is a medium-sized, two-man carried UGV. Incorporating SMARTSHOOTER’s SMASH Hopper, a Light Remotely Controlled Weapon Station (LRCWS) with pin-point accurate lethal capability, the integrated solution enhances tactical forces’ lethality and survivability by providing them the ability to hit ground, aerial, moving or stationary targets from a safe stand-off distance. Lightweight, with high maneuverability and stair-climbing ability, this solution is ideal for urban scenarios, border control, subterranean and other tactical, operational missions.
Presenting this groundbreaking solution for the first time at Eurosatory, SMARTSHOOTER and Roboteam affirm that this is just one example of the various possible integrations of their products. Platform agnostic, the SMASH Fire Control Systems can also be integrated into Roboteam’s other innovative robotic solutions, such as the ROOK Multi-Purpose Robotic UGV and PROBOT Lightweight Heavy-Payload Robot.
Uzzi Rozzen, Roboteam CEO: “The implementation of the SMASH technology to Roboteam’s tactical UGVs robots is significantly extending the operational capabilities of our products: adding lethality in its safest operational mode while keeping to both companies’ sacred mission of protecting the lives of combat troops and law enforcement personnel at the most challenging combat scenarios.”
Michal Mor, SMARTSHOOTER CEO: “Rifle mounted, remotely controlled, robotic, UGV or UAV mounted, the SMASH technology can be integrated onto different platforms according to customer’s needs. We are honored to collaborate with Roboteam, and present this unique armed robotic solution that offers unlimited opportunities for the operating force.”
The solution will be presented at Eurosatory on Roboteam’s booth, Hall 5B Booth A358, and on SMARTSHOOTER’s booth, Hall 6 Booth C680
