UNMANNED GROUND VEHICLE
II-Tracker of
Portland, OR.
a division of P&R Technologies
offers the latest in unmanned,
non-lethal, robotic vehicles, SPIKE.
Capable of performing
numerous tasks too dangerous, tedious, or
complicated for personnel, SPIKE can climb stairs,
travel through doorways, and traverse rugged,
off-road terrain, while carrying up to 300Ibs. of
equipment.
Current options
include thermal imaging/infrared cameras, robotic
arms/ manipulators, video transmission, water
disrupters, communications packages, and more. |

The Spike vehicle was
developed to perform various tasks too tedious or
dangerous for personnel. Primary uses include:
-
Military forward
scout, communications relay.
-
Emergency Response
to hostage, terrorist, or bomb threats.
-
Industrial
Inspection - pipeline etc.
-
HAZMAT inspection,
removal, sensor transport.
-
Security
surveillance patrol - perimeter sentry.
-
Fire fighting.
Spike offers distinct
advantages over other unmanned, robotic vehicles on
the market.
-
High Speeds of 0 -
20 mph allows operators to quickly get in and out
of delicate and/or dangerous situations.
-
Non-tethered remote
control allows much more freedom of movement. By
removing the "umbilical cord" from UGV's,
operators can operate much more efficiently and
effectively.
-
Rugged Design makes
Spike very durable and capable of operating in
rugged terrain while carrying significant amounts
of equipment.
-
Hydrostatic drive,
track driven operation allows vehicle to climb AND
descend stairs, traverse soft and/or rugged
terrain. The hydrostatic drive is very predictable
and allows GPB based navigational systems to be
utilized. The predictability of track driven
vehicles allows for navigational software to be
implemented and utilized very accurately.
