The XM1216 small unmanned ground vehicle (SUGV) is a Future Combat Systems specific, man packable (< 30 pounds (14 kg)) version of the iRobot's PackBot.
Working to minimize soldiers' exposure directly to hazards, the SUGV's modular design allows multiple payloads to be integrated in a plug and play fashion.
The XM1216 can either be remotely manned, or manipulated through use of a Microsoft Xbox 360 gamepad fitted with speciality drivers.
In February 2012, the Army announced their intention to issue a sole-source contract to iRobot for the XM1216 SUGV robotic system.
