Vantage 1

DESCRIPTION

Vantage 1 is a Mobile-Robots from Transcend Robotics. It is built for Reconnaissance, Security, Inspection. Key figures: 180 min runtime, 90.7 kg payload.

The Vantage 1 is Transcend Robotics' tracked tactical robot, which the company bills as the most affordable tactical robot in its class. It comes fully loaded with three cameras, two-way communication and a payload bed, and uses Transcend's double-patented mobility technology to climb international stairs and obstacles up to 12 inches automatically at the push of a joystick, turn on tight staircase landings and drive over clothes, debris and clutter. Its camera suite combines a color drive camera, a 25x pan-tilt-zoom camera, FLIR thermal and automatic IR night vision, with push-to-talk two-way audio and a microphone that picks up speech from about 20 feet. It reaches up to 600 feet non-line-of-sight and 2,500 feet line-of-sight and runs about 3 hours continuously or 12 hours idle per battery. Transcend says it carries up to 200 pounds and hauls another 200 pounds, which teams have used for body drags and to deliver a throw phone, food or a ram. With the Hot Gas Delivery System on its center section it deploys OC/CS munitions indoors, and it also takes the Multi-Mission Arm by HDT Global; an armored-vehicle configuration is offered.
