The R-Gator can operate autonomously, performing perimeter patrol and other missions while keeping personnel out of harm's way.
In military exercises, the R-Gator has shown an ability to carry gear for soldiers to lighten their loads.
It also demonstrated its capacity to carry and drop off explosive ordnance disposal robots weighing more than 100 pounds (45 kg).
An R-Gator could deploy the smaller machine and provide unmanned perimeter security while the EOD robot dismantles the bomb.
The first R-Gator sale to the military was to the U.S. Navy Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command for autonomous perimeter security.
