ReconRobotics
is a well-funded, private, investor-owned business that has strong cash
flow and an outstanding history of financial growth. |
||||||||||
Products | ||||||||||
The
company’s incredibly successful Recon Scout and Throwbot systems
are distinguished from all other tactical robots by their small size,
exceptional durability and ease of use. For example, the highly water
resistant Throwbot XT delivers both video and audio reconnaissance,
is equipped with an automatic infrared optical system and can traverse
cluttered indoor environments or outdoor landscapes. Moreover, it weighs
just 1.2lbs (540g). Operating the device requires no special training,
and it can be deployed in five seconds simply by pulling the activation
pin and throwing it into an environment. Once the robot has been deployed,
it can be directed to move through the environment and transmit video
back to a 1.6lb handheld Operator Control Unit (OCU). This Know Before
You Go® capability enables soldiers, EOD personnel, urban search
and rescue teams and law enforcement officers to gain critical situational
awareness before they enter the environment. |

Moreover,
unlike larger and more difficult to deploy robotic systems, the Throwbot
XT enables dismounted warfighters to maintain the tempo of operations
throughout their missions. The company has four distinct robots, each
designed to support different mission profiles: – Recon Scout Throwbot LE – Recon Scout IR – Recon Scout UVI – Throwbot XT In addition, ReconRobotics manufactures and distributes a broad portfolio of accessories that increase the utility and versatility of its robot platforms. Among these are field charging systems for the robots and OCUs, lightweight field repair kits that permit quick replacement of key components, and a telescoping SearchStick® pole that attaches to the robot and functions as a pole camera. ReconRobotics has a robust and secure supply chain and can customize its commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products and accessories into configurations that maximize utility to warfighters and enable swift delivery into combat zones. |
