British Army is set to deploy 50 advanced T4 EOD robots from L3Harris that will aid in neutralizing threats like explosives.
T4, the first medium-sized robot with haptic feedback, allows operators to feel what the robotic arm touches, enhancing precision and control.The British Army is set to feature advanced bomb disposal robots that will help neutralize threats, including explosives and hazardous materials.
The contract encompasses the provision of robots, in-country support, maintenance, and training, building upon L3Harris’ achievement in Project STARTER. The initiative effectively replaces the older fleet of large EOD robots with the firm’s 122 T7 systems, which have been fully operational since 2019.Featuring sturdy all-terrain treads and a movable manipulation arm, the T4 can maneuver in cramped urban areas. It can climb stairs.
T4’s intuitive haptic control facilitates swift and effortless execution of challenging manipulation tasks, like unzipping bags and opening glove boxes, ensuring operators’ safety by keeping them clear of danger zones. Nonetheless, both models employ “advanced haptic feedback,” which lowers the risk to the explosive ordnance operators’ lives by enabling them to “feel” their way through the challenging procedure of disarming weapons from a safe distance.
