ARLINGTON, Va. Uncrewed and robotic systems company AeroVironment (AV), through its wholly owned subsidiary Telerob (which is located near Stuttgart, Germany), won a contract with Germany's federal armed forces to deliver 41 large-sized uncrewed ground vehicles (UGVs) that specialize in explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) and counter-IED missions.
According to the AV news release, the telemax HT300 UGV was selected to meet the German armed forces’ evolving requirements for EOD and counter-IED missions, as the HT300 employs an advanced manipulator arm, has excellent traction, and retains mobility across uneven or unstable surfaces.
