American defence company L3Harris Technologies will deliver 34 large T7 robots for enhanced capabilities for explosive ordnance disposal missions to the US Navy and the US Marines.
L3Harris will also provide robotic system and comprehensive operator training, while deliveries under this multi-year contract are scheduled to begin this year.
T7 robots are designed to help keep troops out of harm’s way by neutralising explosive threats from a safe distance. The company designed the robotic systems for high-risk missions, providing mobility, manipulation and intuitive control.
“Recognised by both the Navy and Marines for outstanding dexterity and performance, L3Harris T7 robotic systems will provide them a significant advantage for their most challenging EOD missions,” said Dave Kornick, president, intelligence and cyber, space and mission systems, L3Harris.
“We’re honoured to continue working with the Department of War and our key partners in the UK and Australia, who also use the most advanced robotic technology available.”
This award follows a US Air Force order for more than 100 robots in 2021. The Australian Defence Force and UK Ministry of Defence also use large T7 and medium-sized T4 robots to support their EOD missions.
