About TALON Series
TALON is a tracked tactical-robot family used for EOD, reconnaissance, CBRN response, security, rescue and heavy-lift missions. The platform has operated in military, law-enforcement and emergency environments since 2000.
TALON VI adds higher speed, a narrower chassis, expanded manipulator reach, autonomy and mapping. Open I/O ports support cameras, sensors and disruptors, while MPU5 mesh radios extend communications through complex sites. The family complies with military interoperability standards and is configurable for varied mission payloads.
