The Textron FLIR Kobra is a semi-autonomous, compact tactical unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) designed for surveillance, reconnaissance, and payload delivery in urban and complex terrains. Weighing approximately 226.8 kg, it features a manipulator arm capable of lifting up to 150 kg, extending to nearly 4 meters in height. The Kobra achieves a maximum speed of 12.9 km/h and is equipped with full-HD cameras, wide-angle visual/thermal mobility cameras, and AES-256 encryption. Notably, in 2019, the U.S. Army selected the Kobra for its Common Robotic System-Heavy (CRS-H) program, awarding a five-year contract valued at up to $109 million to build upwards of 350 units.
