06 Apr 06. The Boeing Co., St. Louis, Mo., is being awarded a not-to-exceed
$6,899,996 modification to a previously awarded firm-fixed-price contract

10 Apr 06. Raytheon Company has successfully simulated simultaneous command and control of two unmanned air vehicles (UAV) and an unmanned surface vehicle from a single common control system. Under contract from NAVAIR (Naval Air Systems Command) and U.S. Navy Program Execution Office for Strike Weapons and Unmanned Aviation (PMA-263), Raytheon used the Multiple Vehicle Control System (MVCS), a derivative of the Tactical Control System (TCS). The MVCS is a STANAG 4586-based rapid prototyping asset used for advancements and evaluation of future ground control station capabilities and functionality. STANAG 4586 is a specification that allows members of the NATO alliance to share information obtained by their unmanned air vehicles.

11 Apr 06. The Berlin robotics specialists Robowatch Technologies and Diehl BGT Defence, a leading company on the internal and external security market, present their joint innovation: the modular reconnaissance and defusing robot ASENDRO. Only ten months after the launch of the world’s first NBC reconnaissance robot OFRO+detect, this is the second product developed by Robowatch within one year.
ASENDRO does not serve the continuous protection of outdoor facilities – unlike OFRO+detect – but it supports mission forces in assessing the situation in the field in a fast and precise manner. Within fractions of a second the modular robot analyses the hazards involved. Thanks to its remote control it is also capable of gripping and defusing dangerous objects. “With ASENDRO we offer fire brigades, police, military and special task forces a solution that is tailored to their needs. Conventional devices are much bigger, heavier and more complex than our ASENDRO. It fits into a car boot, can climb stairs, drive through narrow passageways or rough terrain and therefore can be used immediately and everywhere”, says M. Eng. Ulf Stremmel, Managing Director of Robowatch.
