EDINA, Minn. – Alan Bignall, President and Chief Executive Officer of ReconRobotics, announced today that the NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency (NAMSA) has allocated specific NATO Stock Numbers (NSN) to eight of the company’s products. Military and government security personnel in all 28 NATO member countries, plus non-member countries that use the same system such as Japan, Australia and New Zealand, can now use these NSNs to purchase the Recon Scout® XT, Recon Scout IR and Recon Scout UVI.
“This is a significant milestone for our company and for our international operations,” said Bignall. “We now have sales operations in 35 countries, including nearly all NATO countries, and these NSNs will accelerate our efforts to bring the life-saving capabilities of our products to U.S. and friendly forces, worldwide.”
The complete list of NSNs can be found on the company’s web site at reconrobotics.com/military/nato-numbers/. Recon Scout Throwbot® devices are used by hundreds of law enforcement agencies and military units to gain real-time video reconnaissance of hostile environments. These robots are distinguished from all other military and law enforcement robots by their small size, rugged durability, versatility and ease of use. For example, the recently introduced Recon Scout XT weighs just 1.2 pounds, and yet it can survive throws of 120 feet and easily move across cluttered indoor environments and landscapes of dirt, sand and rocks. The XT can also be deployed in less than five seconds, and is equipped with an automatic infrared optical system that allows it to see in complete darkness. This Know Before You GoTM capability enables military and law enforcement personnel to gain critical situational awareness before they enter a dangerous environment.
