PARIS \u2014 The next-generation of robot warfare is unfolding with the teaming of ground and air robots propelling each other forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Eurosatory trade show here, the U.S.-based company Teledyne Flir debuted a new unmanned ground vehicle, or UGV, mounted with its nano aerial drone, the Black Hornet 4, on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dubbed the SUGV 325, the ground robot is light enough to be carried by a single person and is fitted with an arm-like structure for grabbing objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see robots as being good unmanned partners for unmanned aerial systems, you can lean into the good things of the robot \u2013 eight hours of runtime, capability to carry heavier payloads, and persistence \u2013 and pair it with the drone\u2019s agility and speed,\u201d Nate Winn, director of product management for unmanned systems at Teledyne told Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both assets can be used to extend each other\u2019s range, where if something is detected by the high-definition cameras onboard the UGV, the drone can be launched from the robot using the same controller to go investigate potential danger further away.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
