The successful integration of Peraton Remotec further signifies Peraton’s company-wide commitment to serve customer’s missions of consequence, where failure is not an option.
Industry Leader
Peraton Remotec designed Andros Spartan based on the success, reliability and versatility of the Andros™ F6 series of platforms. Andros Spartan incorporates the proven chassis design of the Andros F6 series and adopts the highly dexterous manipulation capabilities of the Andros™ FX. The new arm design allows more lift capacity and greater dexterity by adding a roll joint that provides eight degrees of freedom.
“The Andros Spartan offers new enhanced capabilities to serve a diverse range of mission sets. Spartan is more than an evolution of the Andros F6 series of platforms,” said Walt Werner, Managing Director, Peraton Remotec. “By integrating the best features of each of Peraton Remotec’s families of field-proven EOD robots, Spartan revolutionizes the mid-weight market offering unparalleled functionality to protect our nation and keep danger at a distance.”
Additional new features unique to Andros Spartan include:
- Updated power management system that provides over six hours of vehicle run time
- Updated system electronics
- Ruggedized touchscreen laptop operator control unit with 3-D system graphics
- Advanced manipulator controls
- Improved user interface
The Andros Spartan operating system provides expanded information to the operator while easing user workload through increased interactivity with intelligent payloads. Preset arm positions and the ability to “fly the gripper” make manipulation of objects much easier, faster and more accurate.
