US Special Forces to get NERVA-LG robots from France
KNDS France Robotics has announced that it has secured a contract to supply 10 NERVA-LG robotic systems to the United States Special Forces.
The company stated that this new order underscores the quality and reliability of their solutions, and highlights KNDS’s ability to meet the specialized requirements of some of the world’s most demanding military units.
The NERVA-LG system is described as a light, robust, and versatile platform, well-suited for a range of military operations. Designed to assist in long-distance information collection, the system is equipped with four cameras and a microphone, providing immediate operational capacity for gathering intelligence over distances of up to 1,000 meters in open areas and 300 meters in urban environments.
KNDS highlighted that the platform’s adaptability is enhanced by over 20 available “mission kits,” which enable the NERVA-LG to perform diverse operational tasks. These include chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) recognition, improvised explosive device (IED) control, victim assistance, and close combat support. The system’s versatility is further enhanced by numerous semi-autonomous assistance features, allowing personnel to concentrate on critical aspects of their missions without being bogged down by manual control of the robotic platform.
KNDS France Robotics expressed its gratitude to its teams for their commitment and to its partners for their continued confidence in the company’s solutions. “This new order demonstrates the quality and reliability of our solutions, as well as our ability to meet the specific needs of the most demanding Special Forces,” KNDS said in its announcement.
The NERVA-LG is expected to be a valuable tool for the U.S. Special Forces, providing them with advanced capabilities for reconnaissance and support in a variety of operational scenarios. The versatility of the system, coupled with its ability to carry specialized mission kits, makes it an adaptable solution for the unpredictable nature of special operations.
