Recon Scout Robots

Send in the Recon Scout!

Know before you go! Recon Scout "throwable" robots serve as your "man on the inside" for a broad range of military, police, security, and rescue applications. In any dangerous, hostile, or confined environment, you'll instantly get critical visual intelligence that can save lives and reduce property damage.

No specialized training is needed to operate the Recon Scout, and it's small enough to be carried on a belt or tactical vest. Throw it or remotely maneuver it into any dangerous, hostile or confined environment. You'll instantly get real-time reconnaissance video that enables your team to act quickly, safely, and decisively.

Recon Scout® Throwbot™

The Recon Scout Throwbot reconnaissance robot provides real-time visual intelligence to help you "know before you go." The Throwbot is rugged, stealthy, mobile, and unfailingly dependable. Throw it through a window, over a wall, or down stairs and it lands ready-to-go.

Once deployed, you can control its movement at a distance using the handheld Operator Control Unit (OCU). This small and lightweight controller has a screen to show you what your Scout is seeing, and its thumb-operated joystick makes it easy to operate with one hand. Total setup time is under 20 seconds.

Available in double kits, which provide a spare Throwbot. Alternate frequencies are also available, allowing operation of two Throwbots at the same time. Optional Command Monitoring Station (CMS) extends range to 1,000 feet, records video and stills (Windows XP or newer), and monitors up to three robots on different frequencies.

Recon Scout IR

The Recon Scout IR adds infrared imaging to the Throwbot, providing visual reconnaissance in complete darkness. The IR optical system automatically turns on when ambient light is low.

Recon Scout UVI

The Recon Scout® Under Vehicle Inspection (UVI) robot is used to visually inspect the undercarriages of vehicles for explosives, drugs, and other contraband. Equipped with sophisticated optical systems that operate in extremely low-light environments, the Recon Scout UVI can transmit clear, crisp video of a vehicle undercarriage up to 300 feet to a handheld Operator Control Unit (OCU), or up to 1,000 feet to a Command Monitoring Station (CMS).

Because this device is small and portable, it is ideally suited to short-term security situations that require vehicle inspections, including bomb squad reconnaissance of suspicious vehicles, advance team reconnaissance along motorcade routes, police roadblocks, and temporary checkpoints at the entrances to airports and large-scale sporting events.

The ReconScout UVI can also be used in a permanent capacity at border checkpoints and the entrances to secure government facilities. Its auto-focus optics and 60-degree field of view allow inspection of the undercarriages of most vehicles with just one pass, and unlike mirrored devices, provides a direct view of the undercarriage, not a reflected view.

Recon Scout XT

Equipped with large motors, powerful drive trains, and aggressive wheels, the Recon Scout XT gives you the speed, power and maneuverability you need in cluttered indoor environments as well as in outdoor landscapes of dirt, sand, and rocks. Like the Recon Scout IR, the Recon Scout XT is equipped with an infrared optical system that automatically turns on when the ambient light is low, giving your team a big advantage in the darkest of environments.

The Recon Scout XT is just eight inches long and weighs just 1.3 pounds, making it very easy to carry and throw. Operate from up to 300 feet away with the handheld Operator Control Unit (OCU). The robot may be specified in any of three frequencies, allowing operation of up to three robots at the same time. Up to three robots can be monitored from up to 1,000 feet away by the Command Monitoring Station (CMS).

Recon Scout Rescue

Designed for seach-and-rescue and hazmat operations, the brightly yellow Recon Scout Rescue is equipped with infrared imaging that automatically turns on when ambient light is low, allowing reconnaissance in complete darkness. Just seven inches long and under a pound in weight, it withstands throws of 120 feet and can be thrown through windows or doors, over walls, down stairs, and even dropped down a shaft using the provided tether. The Recon Scout Rescue transmits clear, crisp video through walls and debris up to 100 feet to the handheld Operator Control Unit (OCU) or 1,000 feet with the optional Command Monitoring Station (CMS). It can be specified in either of two operating frequencies, allowing operation of two robots at the same time.
