Southwest Research testing  irobot's Packbot with SAM-8 at 29 palms research and testing facility. irobot incorporates SAM-8 into their Packbot.  The PackBot offers war fighters and first responders various interchangeable modular payload capabilities such as the SAM-8.  SAM-8 is the only compact lift small enough to fit into a robot and raise as high as 8 feet. 

Harris Corporation is incorporating the SAM-8 into their prototype robot called "ADAM".  

 

 

 Mitsubishi is testing the  SAM-8 on their robot design.
 
   
 

The era of micro-electronics has now arrived in masts.  The worlds "smallest" mast that can extend to the "tallest" mast is being introduced.  It was designed to allow robots to go under vehicles then be capable of extending up to eight feet from a four inch base and operate with multiple sensors.

 

SAM-8 can be mounted on existing unmanned ground vehicles (UGV's); stand alone applications. SAM-8 can be buried or hidden, tied to sensors that enable the system to rise up, record or transmit via SATCOM to a central site.

Software

 

 

Applications:

► Configured to conduct military operations in urban terrain, including tunnels, sewers, and caves

► Surveillance cameras, lights, and microphone

► Emergency response

► Assist war fighters tasked with manpower intensive or high-risk functions without exposing soldiers

       directly to the hazard. (I.e. urban intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions,

       chemical/toxic industrial chemicals (TIC) Toxic industrial materials (TIM), reconnaissance, etc.)

► Supported by ad-hoc communications to establish swarm operation by grouping several SAMS

        together  on a single mission.
