Fort Bragg’s Airborne Innovation Lab Prepares Ghost Robotics Vision 60 Q-UGV Model for Airdrop Testing

Putting the AIRBORNE in Airborne Innovation Lab.

The AIL built a model of the Ghost Robotics Vision 60 Q-UGV for testing door bundle configurations of the Division asset.

Here you see the first iteration, Woody 1, being fitted for his first airborne operation. Once initial testing is complete, they will begin iterating on a metal model of the Vision 60.

Designing, testing, and learning is a cyclic process that the Division continues to do as Masters of the Airborne JFE.

    See spot run! Glad Boston Dynamics is ours.

      That ain’t Boston Dynamics. You can’t weaponize their robots. It’s Ghost Robotics, a company dedicated to defense.

    For some reason, it gives me more than a little satisfaction to know that Paperboard Honeycomb is still a thing.

    EG,

    Thanks for the coverage on the AIL, it actually falls under the program (Catalyst Pathfinder) that I support as a Tech Advisor. We funded the purchase of all the equipment and the full-time engineer. The AIL is getting a lot of walk in traffic which is good.

    On 29 MAR, 82ABN will be holding a Shark Tank like event called the Drop Zone at the AIL. The event will be similar to the 18ABC’s Dragon’s Lair. I would expect the 82ABN PAO will cover that.

    Thanks again for the coverage!
    Chris
