Ottawa, 31 May 2017 . Nexter Robotics, a subsidiary of the Nexter Group, specialized in the design and marketing of robots for use in defense and safety applications, presents its NERVA® range at the latest edition of the CANSEC .

Devoted entirely to innovation and the multi-role capabilities of its systems, Nexter Robotics continues to work on strengthening its range of NERVA® robots. In addition to its flagship product, the NERVA® LG, Nexter Robotics recently extended its products range with the NERVA® LGH (heavyweight version of the NERVA® LG, with a weight of 12 kg, for increased mobility and range). Over and above this new extension of its range, Nexter Robotics has updated its version of the 2- wheeled NERVA® S which now includes a thermal imaging camera.

In exhibiting the NERVA® family on the Group’s stand, Nexter Robotics is demonstrating yet again the extent of its system’s capability spectrum. The breadth of its payload range (manipulating arm, 3D scans, weapon firing detection, CBRN detection) and mobility kits (tracks) enables the NERVA® family to fully meet the mission requirements with which it may be entrusted: detection of suspicious objects under vehicles or detection of CBRN threats, IED destruction or site surveillance. In addition to its high level of performance, the NERVA® family is simple to control using a computer, tablet or even a smartphone. It also has proven independent operating capabilities, particularly using its waypoint navigation facility and automatic return on mission completion.

Moreover, combining its use with that of a UAV (for transport or radio relay) enables the robot’s operational capabilities to be extended, thus making it ideally-suited to a multiplicity of defense, safety, surveillance and rescue missions.
