ELP GmbH European Logistic Partners

During #UTAC 2024, we had the opportunity to deploy the Spot robot by Boston Dynamics outfitted with a disruptor kit developed by ELP GmbH European Logistic Partners. This patented disruptor integration development, consisting of a variable disruptor mount, an innovative laser aiming device with radio ignition system, a chassis system box, and a robust transport and storage case, is ready for use in just a few minutes. Operators have full control at all times using a portable controller tablet and can precisely assess the threat situation: the disruptor kit shines in deployment scenarios where safety, mobility, autonomy and reliability are required. During this year's Extremist Compound scenario, Spot and this disruptor kit neutralized an IED to help resolve the situation peacefully.

ELP schließt Projekt erfolgreich ab! Zusammen mit MCL (Marlborough Communications Limited/Projekt-Leader) und Boston Dynamics hat die ELP GmbH in den letzten drei Monaten intensiv an einem Forschungsprojekt der Forschungseinrichtung des britischen Militärs DSTL gearbeitet. Die Projektaufgabe bestand darin, nicht kompensierte Disruptoren (Entschärfungssysteme) von Chemring Technology Solutions unter Verwendung des innovativen ELP-Disruptor-Integrationssystem Spot X-DiS in das Robotersystem von Boston Dynamics einzubinden. Diese Integration ermöglicht den Einsatzkräften präzise und aus sicherer Entfernung mögliche Gefahrenquellen zu entschärfen. Das sehr gute Ergebnis wurde der Forschungseinrichtung kürzlich in realitätsnahen Szenarien präsentiert. Alle Aufgabenstellungen wurden zur vollsten Zufriedenheit gelöst. Wir bedanken uns bei DSTL für das Vertrauen und unseren Partnern für die tolle Zusammenarbeit. #elpgmbh #spotxdis #chemring #theeodshop #disruptorintegration #dstl #mcl #laufroboter #spot #bostondynamics

"Spot [isn't] just going to be for the bomb unit, but also loaned out, so to speak. Spot is going to be a good search tool... If we ever go into a situation like that with the SWAT team, Spot could be their eyes and ears.” - Lieutenant Allen Stewart, Montgomery County PA Sheriff's Office

 Every time a robot is in use to disarm and dispose of a bomb, it means one less person walking down range in harm’s way. Great use for Spot! #RobotsforGood #BostonDynamics #PublicSafety #EOD

In our latest case study, we highlight how Persistent Systems' Wave Relay® MANET technology is transforming emergency response by providing reliable network connections in challenging environments. Faced with the task of maintaining communication during a subterranean exercise, a first responder department initially struggled with connectivity for their Boston Dynamics Spot® robot. Using our MPU5 solution, the team successfully pulled clear video feeds from 2100 ft. into a tunnel, vastly improving situational awareness and operator safety.

Persistent's Ecosystem Partner, Teledyne FLIR, was awarded two major contracts, worth up to $47 million, to enhance and sustain their unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) for the United States Department of Defense and other government agencies. These UGVs play a crucial role in modern defense, providing robust capabilities in reconnaissance, explosive ordnance disposal, and hazardous material handling. With platforms like the #FirstLook #UGV, equipped with Persistent’s Embedded Module, Teledyne FLIR is transforming battlefield operations. This integration provides real-time audio and video from challenging environments such as urban, subterranean, and beyond-line-of-sight areas, empowering warfighters with increased situational awareness and operational safety. These advancements are critical in reducing risks for personnel and ensuring mission success in dangerous situations. Teledyne FLIR’s continued innovation in UGV technology, supported by Persistent Systems' advanced communications capabilities, is helping reshape modern military operations by making them more efficient and safer for those on the front lines.

Congrats to Teledyne FLIR for this deal!

Challenging problems are often best solved through the collaboration of experts within their respective field.   This is why we are delighted to work alongside our partners at Boston Dynamics and ELP GmbH European Logistic Partners as the first official partner to provide disruption capability integrated with the Spot robotic platform.   At User request, we have worked behind the scenes for many months to assist with the seamless and safe integration of our recoilless disruptor portfolio onto the Spot robot.   Our solutions have been repeatedly trialled, tested and demonstrated on the Spot platform allowing us our position as the only approved recoilless disruptor provider applicable to the Spot robot.   With Spots extensive capability to operate in challenging and confined internal locations, our disruptor portfolio provides the user with the ability to ensure the greatest target effect with minimal risk of collateral damage.   As always, we don’t just bolt it on and hope, we work to ensure safety and maximum performance every time.   Now that the leash is firmly off, please get in touch if you would like a demonstration. #elpgmbh #spot #chemringstechnologysolutions #disruptorintegration #spoteod #entschaerfung #theeodshop #bostondynamics
