Commercial-Off-The-Shelf Chassis

Unlike some comparable UGVs, The R-Gator is built on the foundation of a production utility vehicle, the M-Gator™ A2, already in service with the military. This means parts and service are easy to source.


Manual or Autonomous Operation

The R-Gator offers the force-multilpying flexibility of shifting between autonomous and manually driven modes at the flip of a switch. So it can perform even more missions than a purely autonomous vehicle.


Simple Remote Operation

The R-Gator can be operated by a videogame controller, and employs an onscren videogame-like interface instantly familiar to today's warfighters.A first-timer user can literally be up and running in minutes


Choice of Autonomous Modes

You can choose from direct or camera tele-operation, program the R-Gator to follow a path using GPS coordinates, or use a teach-and-playback mode, where the vehicle records a route to follow in the future as is being driven.


Advanced Obstacle Avoidance Technology

The R-Gator can find its own way across terrain, using sensors and algorithms to recognize and react to moving obstacles, stationary obstacles and negative obstacles such as a hole, craters or dropoffs.


Comprehensive Sensor Options

The R-Gator offers video trnsmission and capture with two standard fixed wide-angle cameras, a color pan/tilt/zoom camera and an infrared camera.It can be upgraded with higher resolution or thermal cameras, and audio capture systems as well.


High Payload Capacity

The R-Gator can carry large mission-specific payloads and includes fold-down cargo bed for awkward cargo or CASEVAC.


EZ-Lift Option

A EZ-Lift Cargo System can be added to the R-Gator to deploy cargo, smaller 'bots' or other payloads remotely.
