LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- InRob Tech Ltd. ("InRob") (OTCBB:IRBL), a leader in the development and production of advanced wireless control systems and integrated solutions for unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), today announced that it has successfully completed the development and field trials of a remote control system installed on a Hummer jeep. Any function that a driver can perform in the vehicle can now be remotely managed by an operator at distances of up to 1.8 miles. Moreover, in the same way that a driver can see the dashboard and in-vehicle dials and meters, the operator can see all these parameters on his control unit. This enables operators to manage the vehicle with or without eye contact, depending on field conditions.
In addition, other add-on systems such as observation, transmission or video can be installed on the vehicle and operated by InRob Tech's same remote control system.
Hummers are highly common vehicles for several different field operations used by military forces around the world. Now, this robust military vehicle can be driven and operated using InRob Tech's highly sophisticated remote control system. InRob Tech's remote control system for the Hummer sells for approximately $70,000 per unit.
"The Hummer is so versatile that it is used by armies for many different operations," says Ben Tsur Joseph, CEO of InRob Tech. "The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) put our system through the most rigorous of testing and we are very pleased with the results and positive feedback. InRob continues to work closely with the IDF and hopes to use this exemplary relationship to leverage our business development for this system around the world."
The military Hummer is a multi-purpose jeep used by armies as a cargo-troop carrier, armament carrier, missile carrier, ambulance carrier, and a prime mover. There are tens of subtypes to fit the specific needs of military operations.
