  1. Brian Hart, Pres. brian@blackirobotics.com www.blackirobotics.com LandShark • 141 middlesex rd., suite 4, tyngsboro, ma 01879 phone: 1.978.703.1236 • October 31, 2008

  2. About Black-I Robotics • Black-I makes Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) since 2005 • Agreements with the TSWG, Sandia, Navy for general delivery and IED defeat systems, EOD for Logan International Airport • Committed to an open source, open platform strategy

  3. LandShark

  4. Open Source Modularity Improves Price & Performance • Open Source JAUS Software allows interchangeable parts • PC/Tablet Based OCUs allows affordability and upgradability • Mission Modularity Increases Apps. • You Will Get More For Your Money

  5. Operator Control Unit (OCU)

  6. What We’re Doing • TSWG Contract FY08 • Commercial Chassis Production Nov. • Full System with Arms & Payloads • Logan Intl. Airport – VBIED Destroyer, Civilian Mkt. T&E Prototype • Sandia National Labs - x-ray aiming, software licensing for autonomy/semi. • NAVSEA Dahlgren Wolf Pack – 2 lethal, 2 non-lethal, radio relay, remote acoustic hailing device

  7. What’s New for 2009? • LandShark Series E (“ARMS UGV - Affordable Robust Mid-Sized UGV) to be released. • Open Sourced/Open Platforms • Better Price-Performance for Local Law Enforcement • Mission Modularity – One Robot, Many Uses. • Marsupial Robotics • X-Ray Trailers • Helikites

  8. Three Missions – One UGV With Multi-Mission Modularity • EOD/VBIED • Hazmat • Law Enforcement

  9. EOD • Normal EOD Arm & Disrupters Capabilities • Ability to Delivery Multiple Large Water Disrupters (Aqua Rams, Boot Bangers, etc.) to VBIEDs • Stand-Off Detection – x-Ray Trailers, Chemical Analysis

  10. Heavy Modular Arm

  11. LandShark with MREL Aqua Ram Disrupters

  12. AS&E Z-Back Scatter X-Ray Trailer

  13. Images from AS&E Trailer Z-Back Scatter X-Ray

  14. Law Enforcement • Low Cost of Maintenance & Repair in a Harsh Environment • Breaching Tools • Extended Persistent Surveillance in Hybrid Mode • Lethal & Non-Lethal Payload Capable • Acoustic Hailing

  15. BCB Non-Explosive Wall Breaker Water Cannon Which LandShark Can Tow and Place

  16. Marsupial Deployment of Cubic’s Cougar with LandShark E

  17. Counter Sniper ExperimentsBoomerang Acoustic Detector & Laser Veiling

  18. Hazmat • Extended range in hybrid mode • Extended time on target for surveillance and monitoring • Trailer to haul goods in and people out • Traverse/Re-traverse in Semi-autonomous Mode • Secure Camera Webcasting • Ability to remotely deploy a tethered UAV

  19. Hybrid Gas/Electric or All Electric Allows Greatly Extended Run Times & Ranges

  20. Why Hybrid? • Cost Effectively Increases Range and Sustainability • Still Allows Near Silent Electric Options • Gives First Responders a Generator in a Hazmat Setting • Great for Tailgate Parties

  21. Trailers, Towing, Tillers & Plows

  22. Why Towing & Trailers? • Gets supplies in a hazardous area • Gets people & equipment out. • Plans for tele-op in, waypoint navigation out in a semi-autonomous modality (back & forth) • Significantly Increases Capabilities

  23. IP Protocol Cameras Allow Controlled Webcasting of Images to Many Viewers

  24. Remote Client • Remote Client has connection to internet • OCU has cellular connection to internet • Remote Client uses VPN to access robot network • Remote Client can access IP Cameras on Landshark Internet Connection VPN Connection to Remote Robot Network Internet Cellular Internet Connection IP Camera Robot Wireless Network OCU Landshark

  25. Why IP Protocol Cameras • Allows experts to be brought in when you want. • Maintains security • Allows Second Responders to Gauge the Threat Real-Time and Respond Accordingly

  26. Allsopp Helikite –Recon & Radio Relay + UGV

  27. Tethered Hellikites + LandShark Has Advantages • Very cost effective • Addresses Regulations Currently Limiting Untethered UAVs • Allows Persistent Surveillance • Allows Increased Radio Range
