Under the contract, AeroVironment will deliver prototype
Tomahawk Grip Tab Active (Grip TA) controllers and supporting test
kits, allowing the DoD to evaluate the technical capabilities for
future operations. The controller, combined with the RAID System,
provides a large screen and ensures current and future cyber,
safety, and fire control requirements are met.
The Tomahawk Grip TA controllers will be part of the larger
Kinesis Ecosystem that already includes 20+ robotic systems,
various input devices, and numerous AI-enhanced capabilities. This
ecosystem uniquely enables multi-domain, many-to-many UxV operation
through a single user interface, all while reducing the physical
and cognitive burdens placed on the operator.
“AeroVironment is excited to deliver these systems to the DoD,”
said Scott Bowman, Tomahawk Robotics product line manager at
AeroVironment. “The tablet-based Grip Tab Active Controller will
provide a larger viewing area and dedicated safety functions to
operate large vehicles and weapon systems, all while maintaining
the low-profile, ruggedized design our customers have come to
expect from the Tomahawk product line. This controller will improve
operator efficiency and unlock new use cases such as fire control
and sensor-to-shooter.”
This contract extends the ongoing work between the Tomahawk
Robotics product line and the DoD to provide a common controller
for the DoD’s tactical robotic systems.
