PR Newswire (US)
LAS VEGAS, Oct. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- InRob Tech Ltd.
("InRob") (OTC:IRBL) (BULLETIN BOARD: IRBL) today announced that
together with its partners, they have added armored upgrade to
their latest unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) solution -- the Robotic
Caterpillar MTL 257B platform. This platform, marketed under the
name "Front Runner," was developed by InRob together with its
strategic partners, Israel Aerospace Industries, Ltd. Ramta
Division ("IAI Ramta"). InRob developed a dedicated robotic control
system to convert Caterpillar's MTL 257B into an unmanned platform.
The MTL is a compact multi- terrain, rubber-tracked machine
designed for work in a broad range of applications and terrain
conditions, including soft underfoot and slopes. This robotic
version is ideally suited for a wide range of military,
para-military, law enforcement, and civilian operations.
Engineering teams from InRob and IAI Ramta worked together on
designing the armor, drawing on the extensive experience both
companies bring with military ground vehicles. IAI Ramta will
manufacture and fit the armor on the UGV at their facilities. "This
is a very significant step in the development of our robotic MTL,"
said InRob CEO Ben Tsur Joseph. "An armored version such as this
will have many military applications, particularly for tactical
battlefield use. It will enable ground forces to perform critical
engineering tasks under fire, without endangering soldiers' lives.
We expect very strong interest in this armored version from our
military and defense customers." For more information on this
