Cubic Simulation Systems
Orlando-based defense contractor Cubic Simulation Systems has rolled out its latest product -- a tactical robot that can disarm bombs, conduct video surveillance and perform other functions for military and law enforcement agencies, the company said Tuesday. The local subsidiary of San Diego-based Cubic Corp. developed the "unmanned ground system" as one of its first major product lines not related to military training simulator technology, officials said. Cubic pitched the new system with a trendy tie-in to the trash-gathering WALL-E, the "star" of the current animated hit movie. "It's not as clever or cute as WALL-E, but a new robot being introduced (by Cubic) does do disposal duty -- bomb disposal," the company said. Though robots are nothing new to police and military personnel, Cubic says its system advances the technology to a new level of effectiveness. Known as COUGAR, for Combined Operations Unmanned Ground Assessment Robot, the Cubic system packs a bundle of advanced audio, video and anti-explosive electronics into a compact ruggedized frame, officials said. 7/16/2008
