HOUSTON,
Texas-BAE Systems has been awarded a $629 million contract from the
U.S. Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Joint Program Office (JPO)
to upgrade 1,700 Caiman MRAP vehicles.
Relieving
the extreme weight load on the dismounted soldier,
the Guardium-LS UGV™, a versatile –
multi purpose autonomous unmanned ground vehicle,
replenishes forward troops with up to 1.2 tons of
ammunition and supplies without endangering manned
vehicles over IEDs stricken routes. An offspring
of the operational Guardium UGV™, the Guardium-LS
UGV™ equips the war fighter with a robust
toolkit for a variety of operational scenarios as
route proving, base protection, ISTAR and combat
logistic support. Based on the mission’s requirements,
the Guardium- LS UGV™ is commanded either
through mobile or portable terminals or act in a
mule mode, where it autonomously follows a squad
unit. The Guardium-LS UGV™ system complies
with ongoing military and industry standards, for
which it was exhaustively trialed over thousands
of operational hours. The Guardium-LS UGV™
system is an inclusive solution, comprising the
unmanned ground vehicle, a dedicated command and
control application, a customer tailored communication
suite, a modular selection of payloads and a comprehensive
logistic support package.
