The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International annual trade show is underway with a significant presence from iRobot. One can only hope that the company can score some new contracts out of this deal. Of interest is a new security guard robot that General Dynamics Robotic Systems aims to sell to the military at $2 million to $3 million a pop as part of a $70 million contract. Looks like the big guys may be wanting to horn in on the robotic action.
Meanwhile, Army Times reports that the name "Future Combat Systems" is going to soon be replaced by a new name to better represent the fact that FCS systems (like the SUGV) could be available as soon as next year.
Thx, nmlc2000!
