| Weighing only 12 kilos, DOGO was designed for Special Forces, SWAT teams, and infantrymissions,and can maneuver across difficult terrain as well as climb stairs. Light weapons can be quickly attached to DOGO and easily operated (Point& Shoot). DOGO can also integrate with non-lethal modules. The robot includes eight video cameras that provide 360° images and boresight views, and it is outfitted with the means to communicate in hostage situations. Pitbull, a very lightweight weapon station weighing only 50 kilos, includes unique sensor systems that enable accurate detection of hostile fire, and can respond in a matter of seconds. It also includes a miniaturized radar system for detection of targets under harsh weather conditions. These two systems together enable fast and accurate detection regarding the direction of hostile fire, as well as automatic immediate return of fire. Pitbull is easily installed on all types of vehicles and stationary positions, and can be integrated with existing sensor systems. |
