Made in the USA by Teledyne FLIR Defense, the Packbot 525 is a rugged, man-transportable unmanned ground vehicle roughly 1.78 m long and weighing 26.3 kg. A proven and widely fielded battlefield design, it balances portability with a capable manipulator arm, letting a single operator carry it forward and put a robot between themselves and a threat.
Packbot 525 carries three HD cameras, two-way audio and a laser range finder for situational awareness and measurement, driven by electric track motors and servo-actuated arms that let it climb stairs and manipulate objects. It is teleoperated through the closed-source uPoint Multi-Robot Control System and delivers around 480 minutes of runtime for extended missions.
As a man-transportable unmanned ground vehicle, Packbot 525 supports defence, reconnaissance, surveillance and telepresence. It takes on EOD, remote inspection and other hazardous tasks that keep operators at a safe distance, and its modular design lets teams adapt it with additional sensors as missions require. Its proven design and man-portability make it a dependable first choice for units that need robotic reach without a dedicated transport vehicle.
Nexon System supports defence and public-safety customers across Southeast Asia in fielding the Teledyne FLIR Packbot 525, covering integration, payload setup, operator training and sustainment.
