Description
The US Marine Corps has placed a US$30 million order with Israeli company Roboteam for up 200 MTGR UGVs with an initial order placed for 130 vehicles. The first batch has already been delivered and the remainder will be expected to be handed over by the end of 2025.
The contract will be carried out by Roboteam and its US partner Mistral. Final assembly will occur at Mistral's White Marsh production facility and will include spare parts and maintenance services.
The systems have been purchased by New Zealand and the US Air Force (USAF) has previously procured hundreds of MTGR systems under a Program of Record valued at more than $25 million. The USAF deal was announced in 2015 and was believed to have been for 200 UGVs.
The MTGR has been designed as a highly manoeuvrable, lightweight and man-portable robotic platform.
Shephard Defence Insight noted that it has dimensions of 45.5cm × 36.8cm × 14.5cm (L×W×H). With wheels and flippers it measures 47.2cm × 47cm × 16.5cm. The platforms weigh 7.3kg and 9.4kg, respectively.
Sensors include a 360° day and night video with ×10 zoom. The vehicle is fitted with five integrated cameras for 360° real-time day and night vision along with two cameras on manipulator. It can also be fitted with a pole camera.
