Q-UGV Robots: Improving CBRN Investigation Safety and Speed Using Robots

Ghost Robotics will develop a customized, modified, and enhanced Quadrupedal Unmanned Ground Vehicle (Q-UGV) robot for Air Force Emergency Managers for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) and applications. The robot will execute CBRN investigations to accelerate render safe procedures and keep Airmen safe by reducing their amount of time exposed to CBRN threats. During the project, Ghost Robotics will perform research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E) to engineer and integrate 5x Air Force-specific CBRN sensors onto the backs of the robot, along with a sensor arm/boom, for Minot AFB Emergency Managers to use to investigate CBRN hazards and threats.
