The response layer is intended to combine electronic disruption with kinetic and non-kinetic countermeasures.
Target environments include oil and gas, power, airports, ports, telecommunications, logistics facilities and data centres; this is a development programme, not a product launch.
The mix comprised 20 ROSA units, eight RIO units, two AVA units, one TOM unit and one ROAMEO autonomous patrol robot.
Twenty-four units had appeared in five earlier August announcements; the month-end disclosure adds eight previously undisclosed units without double-counting the earlier orders.

The research configuration replaced PM01 hands with passive hooks and mounted a RoboSense E1R lidar; after one goal position was supplied, the traversal sequence ran autonomously.
The decision supports Prodrone, a Japanese developer and manufacturer of industrial UAVs and drone-control software.
Prodrone plans to strengthen mass production and sales, expand internationally and build its organisation, including new hiring.
Because the source records a support decision rather than transferred funds or a completed round, the amount is excluded from completed-funding aggregates.
The robot handles cup retrieval, ingredient dispensing, mixing and inverted handoff without continuous teleoperation, using vision, touch and force feedback to correct errors.
The disclosed cycle time is about six minutes per Blizzard, compared with roughly two to three minutes for a human worker.
