Liberty Dynamic, ReconRobotics will begin collaborating with ReconRobotics, Inc., on adapting a throwable robot with flash-bang capabilities. This will be an adaptation of the robotic company’s tiny, tactical Throwbot 2® robot which includes an Enhanced Diversionary Device.
By having the robot blended with a flash-bang, military and law enforcement users (hostage rescue, special reaction and SWAT teams) save precious seconds before detonation as well as benefit from real-time intelligence.
First unveiled this past January, the Enhanced Diversionary Device is a reusable, microprocessor-controlled flash-bang designed to be safer and more economical than the standard stun grenades currently used by police officers and military personnel.
The Enhanced Diversionary Device has a digital fuse for precise, programmable detonation, and it fires its special binary load into free space. As a result, there is a loud and blinding airburst, but the device doesn’t kick up secondary debris from the flooring making it an ideal tool for law enforcement.
