US Special Forces to get combat robots to advance operational capability

KNDS France Robotics announced a contract to deliver 10 NERVA-LG robotic systems to the US Special Forces, describing the order as an example of its ability to meet the specialized needs of military units. In recent years, KNDS’s robotics division, through Nexter Robotics, has broadened its range to include advanced unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) designed for various military and security missions. The NERVA-LG is a lightweight, durable, and versatile robotic system designed for military operations. Equipped with four cameras and a microphone, it gathers intelligence over distances of up to 1,000 meters in open areas and 300 meters in urban settings. The system is fitted with advanced imaging and sensor technology to detect threats like IEDs and CBRN hazards, all while maintaining a discreet profile. Its compact size and low thermal signature allow it to operate unnoticed, making it ideal for covert missions focused on stealth and intelligence gathering. The robot’s ability to carry various payloads, such as cameras or detection devices, enhances its versatility, making it a valuable asset for Special Forces in high-risk environments.
