Teledyne FLIR Defense announced at SOF Week the launch of its new FirstLook\u00ae 125 throwable robot. The rugged UGV serves as operators\u2019 first line of remote engagement, built for the toughest real-world environments. Advancements include a common controller with Black Hornet\u00ae 4 nano-drone, enabling combined unmanned ground-air operations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nThe FirstLook 125<\/a> unmanned ground system delivers real-time visual, thermal, and audio situational awareness across complex terrain, lowering force risk and enabling faster decision-making.<\/p>\n

\nPurpose-built for coordinated ground-air missions, FirstLook 125 shares a common controller and operational architecture with Teledyne FLIR Defense\u2019s Black Hornet\u00ae 4<\/a> nano-drone. This enables a single user to deploy and manage both systems without changing tools or workflows. The commonality extends FirstLook beyond ground-only reconnaissance, allowing users to combine interior and exterior ISR, quickly transition between platforms, and maintain continuous situational awareness across domains. The result is an integrated \u2018first-in\u2019 capability that delivers greater flexibility and mission utility at the squad and fire-team level.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAs the need for interoperability with unmanned operations grows, FirstLook 125 can support missions demanding both ground and airborne intelligence, thanks to its common controller,\u201d said Tung Ng, Vice President of Unmanned Systems North America at Teledyne FLIR Defense. \u201cAnd ruggedness isn\u2019t even a question. Through repeated throws, hard drops \u2013 plus its agility in confined spaces \u2013 FirstLook 125 is engineered for reliability when conditions are toughest.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAlong with our FirstLook 110 robot, the FirstLook family continues to give operators eyes, ears \u2013 and confidence \u2013 before putting personnel in harm\u2019s way,\u201d Ng added.<\/p>\n

\nFirstLook 125\u2019s advanced tracked mobility is optimized for stairwells, rubble, and uneven ground, producing stable, reliable movement in the most challenging environments. Its lightweight 5.7lb (2.6kg) design can sustain 16ft (5m) drops and self-rights instantly, remaining mission-ready after any throw or tumble. Using rugged, articulated flippers, FirstLook 125 pushes through debris, climbs obstacles, and maneuvers inside confined spaces while bringing an enhanced EO\/IR camera suite, integrated illumination, and two-way audio to low-light, GPS-denied, and cluttered operational conditions.<\/p>\n

\nOther FirstLook 125 features include:<\/p>\n
