<strong>QinetiQ</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>America</strong>’s <strong>MAARS</strong>® robot allows the warfighter to project full Escalation of Force (EOF) capabilities from a<br />

covered and concealed location. From base security to point man on a patrol, <strong>MAARS</strong> is your combat multiplying solution.<br />

Full Escalation of Force<br />

Powerful, modular and combat<br />

ready, the <strong>MAARS</strong> from <strong>QinetiQ</strong><br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>America</strong> is an unmanned<br />

ground vehicle (UGV) designed for<br />

reconnaissance, surveillance and<br />

target acquisition (RSTA) as well as<br />

Force Protection missions to increase<br />

the security of personnel manning<br />

forward locations.<br />

Situational Awareness Cameras –<br />

Pan Tilt Zoom and front/rear drive cameras<br />

provide 360 deg situational awareness.<br />

Gunnery Cameras –<br />

Daytime and thermal<br />

26x1 zoom cameras<br />

allow for targeting<br />

during day or night<br />

operations.<br />

<strong>MAARS</strong> can be positioned in remote<br />

areas where personnel are currently<br />

unable to monitor their security.<br />

Utilizing the suite of security sensors<br />

on <strong>MAARS</strong>, the small unit can<br />

achieve early warning of potential<br />

threats and immediately engage if<br />

necessary.<br />

Green Laser Warning<br />

Device – Non-lethal<br />

Warning Device emits four<br />

green lasers, warning and<br />

dazzling a potential threat.<br />

Utilized for perimeter security<br />

of a combat outpost (COP) or<br />

forward operating base (FOB)<br />

<strong>MAARS</strong> is essentially an extension<br />

of the operator with the ability<br />

to continuously project full<br />

EOF capabilities. This can be<br />

accomplished without exposing<br />

the operator or other base security<br />

elements to enemy fire.<br />

Grenade Launcher –<br />

Individually selectable, quad<br />

M203 tubes utilize any military<br />

inventory low velocity, 40mm<br />

round. This allows a warfighter<br />

to engage with a less<br />

than lethal round from<br />

one tube or a HE round<br />

from another.<br />

Machine Gun – Primary weapon is<br />

a M240 machine gun that is secured in<br />

the <strong>MAARS</strong> weapon cradle without any<br />

modification.<br />

Radios – CREW compliant, dedicated<br />

video, C2 and E-Stop radios allow for<br />

remote control from over 1km away.<br />

With the operator always in control<br />

of the <strong>MAARS</strong> robot, safety is<br />

achieved through fail-safe actuators<br />

and a dedicated Wireless Power<br />

Interrupt System (WPIS) button<br />

located on the hand controller. With<br />

one press of the WPIS button, power<br />

to the robot is shut off. This renders<br />

the robot and weapon systems static<br />

and safe until, when desired, the<br />

operator releases the WPIS button.<br />

Two Way Hailer –<br />

Provides two-way, audible<br />

communications and siren<br />

through a 120dB amplifier.<br />

Laser Range Finder – Target distance<br />

information feeds into ballistic solution of the<br />

gun for ultra accurate targeting.<br />

<strong>MAARS</strong> can be operated from over<br />

800 meters away using either the<br />

wearable, Tactical Robotic Controller<br />

or a Toughbook Laptop Controller.<br />

Both controllers allow piping of video<br />

feed to a TV for observation in a<br />

Tactical Operations Center.
