AimLock, an autonomous targeting and engagement systems specialist, is collaborating with Teledyne FLIR Defense to provide autonomous kinetic capabilities for the company’s SUGV™ 325 and Kobra™ 725 ground robots.
AimLock’s systems, powered by the company’s Core Targeting Modules (CTMs), will support Teledyne FLIR’s robots in delivering kinetic autonomy across key mission sets in counter-drone, force protection, direct action, integrated defence, strike anti-armour, and support by fire.
SUGV 325, a backpackable robot, will be integrated with AimLock’s RS-2, a remote engagement speed and accuracy system that powers automated target acquisition and firing systems. R-S2 can be affixed with a range of weapon systems, including dual 40mm grenade launchers, quad M72 rocket launchers, a lightweight machine gun and .50 caliber semi-automatic rifle.
The R-S2 provides multi-sensor AI targeting for detection, classification, recognition and identification. Two-axis stabilised positioners provide automated firing solutions with corrections for target and platform motion, environmental conditions and targeting ranges. The system’s open architecture control interfaces can integrate into larger combat systems or are suitable for standalone use, with platform kits available for manned and unmanned air and ground vehicles.
Teledyne FLIR’s Kobra 725, a heavy-payload robot, will be integrated with AimLock’s RM-1, a semi-autonomous remote weapon station for medium machine gun platforms. The RM-1 combines day/night sensors, laser range-finding, active stabilisation, autonomous detection, classification, tracking and automatic firing. It detects and tracks small drones, vehicles and enemy combatants, enabling 7.62mm and .338 Norma Mag machine gun engagement out to the host weapon’s effective range. The portable system can be mounted on tripods, buildings, vehicles, boats and helicopters.
