The contract was facilitated through Roboteam's collaboration with its U.S. partner, Mistral Inc. The manufacturing of these systems is being conducted locally in the U.S., with final assembly at Mistral’s White Marsh production facility. Roboteam has already delivered the first batch of MTGR systems and aims to complete the full delivery by the first quarter of 2025.

This contract marks Roboteam’s first penetration into the U.S. Marine Corps market, highlighting the growing demand for the company’s advanced robotic solutions within U.S. defense sectors. Previously, Roboteam has successfully supplied hundreds of MTGR systems to the U.S. Air Force under a Program of Record valued at over $25 million, demonstrating the effectiveness and reliability of these systems in operational environments.

The MTGR is known for its high maneuverability, lightweight design, and portability. It features advanced capabilities such as stair-climbing and self-righting, making it suitable for a variety of missions including Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), special operations, and tactical maneuvers. Its robust design and versatile performance ensure it can navigate and overcome a wide range of field challenges, both indoors and outdoors.

Roboteam’s family of robotic systems, ranging from 1.5 kg to 1.2 tons, has been successfully deployed by Tier-1 defense and law enforcement agencies in over 30 countries. These platforms are powered by advanced software and algorithms and utilize MESH communication technology, enabling centralized control via a single unit. This technology allows operators to manage multiple systems with ease, enhancing operational efficiency and effectiveness.

"We are honored that the US Marine Corps has selected the MTGR to enhance their arsenal of combat engineering robotics," said Matan Shirvi, CEO of Roboteam. "Proudly selected by Tier-1 customers globally, our unmanned platforms empower defense forces to execute missions efficiently while prioritizing soldier safety. We have customized the MTGR to meet the U.S. Marine Corps' operational needs, enabling them to maintain unmatched battlefield supremacy while enhancing their daily operational capabilities. We are delighted to collaborate with Mistral to bring this advanced robotic solution to the US Marine Corps, reaffirming our commitment to providing innovative solutions tailored to the demands of modern warfare."

This achievement underscores Roboteam's consistent track record of success in the United States and reaffirms its position as a leading provider of tactical unmanned systems for defense applications.
