IRIS

The IRIS is a miniature, fast deployable, ruggedized, hand-carried, unmanned system. It is designed to support several units such as SWAT, Public Safety, Military, and Law Enforcement. The IRIS can enter small and confined spaces, above or underground, to explore hazardous areas while relaying intelligence and reconnaissance information in real time.

Overview

It's a hand-carried, ruggedized and throwable system fit for extreme conditions: indoors, outdoors, urban warfare or disaster zones. IRIS is controlled by a ruggedized tablet, which allows operators to complete any tactical mission from a safe stand-off distance.

The IRIS can enter  small  and  confined  spaces,  above  or  underground,  to  explore  hazardous  areas  while  relaying  intelligence  and  reconnaissance information in real time. It gets tactical video and audio intel from hard-to-acces venues to reduce mission time and casualties. The ruggedized, small IRIS can be tossed into small, narrow spaces. The IRIS runs quietly in underground tunnels and other urban warfare environments and can be controlled by a single operator.

The IRIS Controller is based on Android 4.4, and has features including a quick-charging, user-replaceable full-shift battery.
