Testing is scheduled for this fall with fielding to follow soon afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn\u2019t the first lightweight robot that an individual Marine can carry in an EOD team. Marines began acquiring the larger mini robot SUGV-310, that fits in a rucksack and weighs 18.5 pounds is 9.1 inches tall, 14.3 inches wide and 24 inches long when in the stowed position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1793\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Endeavor-Robotics-SUGV-Insitu-4.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Endeavor-Robotics-SUGV-Insitu-4.jpg.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Endeavor-Robotics-SUGV-Insitu-4.jpg.jpg?resize=201,300 201w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Endeavor-Robotics-SUGV-Insitu-4.jpg.jpg?resize=768,1148 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Endeavor-Robotics-SUGV-Insitu-4.jpg.jpg?resize=685,1024 685w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Endeavor-Robotics-SUGV-Insitu-4.jpg.jpg?resize=1028,1536 1028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Marine Corps recently began purchasing a &#8220;throwable&#8221; robot for use by Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technicians to help them gain access to smaller or out-of-reach areas.

So far, 130 have been field to units with the I, II and III Marine Expeditionary Forces, Daley wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EOD techs also use the mini robot to investigate and handle several types of threats.

They can each serve as repeaters through their \u201cmeshing capability,\u201d in which they use other robots to extend their operational range. Users can use one controller to maneuver or manipulate multiple robots, Daley said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a March press release, Endeavor Chief Executive Officer Sean Bielat noted the company\u2019s efforts to \u201cbroadly field advanced\u201d robots such as the SUGVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEvery one of our rugged, combat-tested robots places one more Marine, one more squad of Marines, in a safe position to deal with battlefield threats,\u201d Bielat said in the release.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EOD teams
