Robot Brief

The PackBot 525 is the latest generation of the PackBot family of man-transportable Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) developed by Teledyne FLIR Defense for defense, security, EOD (explosive ordnance disposal), CBRN, and hazardous environment missions. It builds on decades of field-proven performance with upgrades including state-of-the-art HD cameras, a laser rangefinder, improved illumination, optional in-situ charging, and enhanced modular accessories, delivering high situational awareness and manipulatory capability from a rugged tracked platform that one operator can rapidly deploy.

Use Cases

  • Bomb Disposal / EOD:
    Uses its manipulator arm and sensors to interrogate and neutralize threats remotely.
  • Surveillance & Reconnaissance:
    Provides operators with real-time video, audio, and environmental data from HD cameras and sensors.
  • CBRN Detection:
    Supports optional chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear sensor payloads to monitor contaminated environments.
  • HazMat Handling:
    Assists hazardous materials teams by inspecting and interacting with dangerous objects.
  • Route Clearance & Inspection:
    Traverses terrain and interior environments to assess obstacles and threats.

Industries

  • Defense & Military:
    Frontline EOD, reconnaissance, force protection, and sensor delivery missions.
  • Homeland Security & Public Safety:
    Perimeter surveillance and hazardous environment assessment.
  • Hazardous Materials & CBRN Response:
    Remote detection and monitoring of dangerous agents.
  • Tactical Law Enforcement:
    Urban and confined-space operations, hostage crisis support.

Intro

The PackBot 525 is a man-transportable, multi-mission unmanned ground vehicle engineered to support operators at standoff distances in dangerous environments. It features a tracked mobility platform with flippers for climbing stairs, traversing rubble, and navigating constricted spaces that would challenge human responders. Deployable by a single operator in under two minutes and compact enough to stow in a vehicle trunk, the PackBot 525 balances portability with robust mission performance.

At its core is a modular manipulator arm capable of lifting up to 20 kg close-in and about 5 kg at full extension (187 cm), allowing it to lift, move, or position objects, including ordnance or equipment with precision from a safe distance.

Situational awareness is delivered via multiple HD cameras mounted on the head and turret, enhanced illumination, and an integrated laser rangefinder that provides accurate distance measurement to targets. The robot can also be equipped with optional payloads such as FLIR LWIR thermal imagers, CBRN sensors, and disruptors for specialized missions.

Control is provided through the uPoint Multi-Robot Control System, a ruggedized tablet interface that gives operators real-time navigation visuals, sensor data, and command capability. Communication is handled via the MPU5 radio on a Wave Relay mobile ad hoc network (MANET), enabling robust and extended remote operations.

Connectivity

  • Compatible with Wave Relay MANET, fleet management system.
  • uPoint Multi-Robot Control System features a tablet with touchscreen control.

‍

Capabilities

  • Tracked All-Terrain Mobility:
    Zero-radius turning and stair climbing up to ~43° inclines.
  • Manipulator Arm:
    High-capacity lifting (20kg) for ordnance handling and object manipulation. Able to extend up to 187 cm (5kg)
  • Multi-Camera Awareness:
    HD visual feeds and optional thermal imaging.
  • Laser Ranging:
    Precise operator distance measurements for standoff tasks.
  • Modular Payload Support:
    Auxiliary sensor ports for HazMat/CBRN detection and disruptors
