InRob and Partners Add Armor Upgrade to Caterpillar Platform

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 9  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- InRob Tech Ltd. ("InRob") (OTC:IRBL) (BULLETIN BOARD: IRBL)  today announced that together with its partners, they have added armored upgrade to their latest unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) solution -- the Robotic Caterpillar MTL 257B platform. This platform, marketed under the name "Front Runner," was developed by InRob together with its strategic partners, Israel Aerospace Industries, Ltd. Ramta Division ("IAI Ramta").

InRob developed a dedicated robotic control system to convert Caterpillar's MTL 257B into an unmanned platform. The MTL is a compact multi- terrain, rubber-tracked machine designed for work in a broad range of applications and terrain conditions, including soft underfoot and slopes. This robotic version is ideally suited for a wide range of military, para-military, law enforcement, and civilian operations.

Engineering teams from InRob and IAI Ramta worked together on designing the armor, drawing on the extensive experience both companies bring with military ground vehicles. IAI Ramta will manufacture and fit the armor on the UGV at their facilities.

"This is a very significant step in the development of our robotic MTL," said InRob CEO Ben Tsur Joseph. "An armored version such as this will have many military applications, particularly for tactical battlefield use. It will enable ground forces to perform critical engineering tasks under fire, without endangering soldiers' lives. We expect very strong interest in this armored version from our military and defense customers."
