Saab RBS 70 NG The new tracking system helps the operator aim it more accurately -- far more exactly than a human being -- with maximum range at a higher speed.![Thales_Storm_H]()
Thales Storm-H The Thales Storm-H essentially creates a protective invisible bubble around a soldier, preventing bad guys from signaling an IED to detonate within its safety zone.![Chameleon Tank]()

Marshall Land Systems Weighing in at about 110 pounds, Questar, a nimble rugged reconnaissance robot can climb 40 degree slopes and cruise at about 19 miles per hour.![Marshall_Land_Systems_robot5]()
Marshall Land Systems Questar can clear a route for patrols with Niitek ground-penetrating radar, but it can also be equipped with a range of sensors from chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear detectors to light detectors (called LIDAR) and explosives sniffers.![Marshall_Land_Systems_robot4]()
Marshall Land Systems Trakkar, capable of carrying a 550-pound payload, can also be equipped with a range of sensors; this second little guy features a very cool “follow me” technology that lets it trail its operator.![Marshall_Land_Systems_robot2]()
Marshall Land Systems The small but mighty "throwbot" EyeDrive has 360-degree views with five video cameras. It can also carry disruptor charges for counter-IED missions.Toys for Big Boys: Best of Show from the DSEi Military Tech Show
