Description

TALON Medium-Sized Tactical Robot Since its introduction in 2000, QinetiQ North America’s TALON family of robots has earned a reputation for durability, flexibility, reliability, and performance in keeping personnel, assets, and civilians out of harm’s way. In the military, law enforcement, and first responder applications, TALONs are widely deployed for the improvised explosive device (IED) and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), reconnaissance, communications, CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear), HAZMAT, security, heavy lift, defense and rescue missions. Our TALON CBRN/Hazmat modular kit is available for TALON IV and V models. TALONs have been used worldwide, from Ground Zero after the 2001 World Trade Center attack, to IRAQ and Afghanistan, searching for the Boston Marathon bombing suspect and assisting with security during major sporting events. Now on its fifth generation, TALON 5 is the first Interoperability Profile (IOP) fielded robotic system that has successfully gone through Army Test and Evaluation Command testing.

TALON CBRN/Hazma TALON CBRN/Hazmat kit is equipped with a variety of sensors that provides ultimate protection in dangerous CBRN missions. Proven Protection For over 15 years, TALON robots have been used for EOD and CBRN operations. TALON’s were first military robot deployed in Bosnia for moving and disposing of live explosives and the first to be used in active combat in Afghanistan and in Iraq. Deployed at Ground Zero after the Sept. 11 (9/11) attack on the World Trade Center in NYC, TALON robots were used extensively to support search and rescue and recovery efforts. Out of the two robot types used at Ground Zero, TALONs were the only robots to handle the difficult and dangerous mission without requiring a major repair. Even after repeated contamination, TALON remained operational. Flexible and Rugged Operation The CBRN kit is configurable for TALON IV and above models. TALON’s optional, heavy-lift, multiple-degreeof freedom arm can be used to open doors and trunks making it a valuable additional to critical and dangerous missions.
