QinetiQ North America Wins U.S. Army CRS(I) contract for small
ground robots
15 March 2019 - QinetiQ North America (QNA) today announces that
it has won the competition for the U.S. Army's Common Robotic
System-Individual (CRS(I)) program. The seven-year Indefinite
Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, valued up to $164m is
for the delivery of small ground robots. It includes a Low Rate
Initial Production (LRIP) phase worth approximately $20m over
one-to-two years, followed by a series of annual production
releases. QNA has been awarded a $4m initial order as part of the
LRIP phase.
The CRS(I) robot is designed to be back-packable and is equipped
with advanced sensors and mission modules for dismounted forces to
enhance mission capabilities. CRS(I) features an interoperability
profile (IOP) compatible open architecture to support a variety of
payloads and missions to detect, identify, and counter hazards.
This significant win for small ground robots builds on QNA's
recent contract awards for the Route Clearance Interrogation System
program (RCIS) and Phase II of the Common Robotic System-Heavy
program (CRS-H).
"Providing robust, reliable, and exceptionally capable ground
robots to support our armed services has been a driving passion at
QNA for decades now," said Jeff Yorsz, President of QinetiQ North
America. "Our CRS(I) robot combines performance, intuitive control,
and easy transport with a very competitive price point. This will
redefine the market for next-generation back-packable robots."
