Product Overview
The GX104A Self-Propelled Reconnaissance Ball is an innovative surveillance sphere designed for critical intelligence gathering in challenging environments. Utilizing its unique self-balancing center-of-gravity mechanism for propulsion, the GX104A offers exceptionally stable and low-noise movement. Its point-contact with the ground ensures highly agile and versatile mobility and turning capabilities, making it ideal for discreet operations where traditional wheeled or tracked robots may struggle.
Capable of silent movement, all-weather video recording, audio output, and designed to be throwable with automatic deployment upon landing, the GX104A is a robust tool suitable for a range of demanding tasks.
Applications & Use Cases
Tactical reconnaissance demands reliable and undetectable tools. The GX104A excels in providing covert surveillance in hostile or sensitive areas. Its ability to navigate complex environments and provide clear video feedback makes it indispensable.
For hazardous space exploration, sending a human operative into an unknown or potentially dangerous area is a significant risk. The GX104A can be deployed to assess conditions, identify threats, and gather visual intelligence remotely, significantly enhancing safety.
Navigating complex terrain search scenarios, such as collapsed buildings, caves, or dense urban environments, requires a robot that is both durable and agile. The GX104A's spherical design allows it to roll over obstacles and through confined spaces that would halt traditional robots. Its throwable nature also permits deployment into areas that are otherwise inaccessible.
Potential use cases include:
Covert entry into buildings for intelligence gathering.
Inspection of culverts, pipes, or ventilation systems.
Initial assessment of unstable structures post-disaster.
Perimeter surveillance in challenging outdoor environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the self-propelled movement work?
A: The GX104A uses internal weights and mechanisms to shift its center of gravity, causing the sphere to roll. This method allows for precise, stable, and very quiet movement, unlike external wheels or tracks which can be noisy and get snagged.
Q: What is 'invisible light night vision'?
A: Invisible light night vision typically refers to using infrared (IR) illuminators that emit light wavelengths not visible to the human eye. The camera on the GX104A is sensitive to this IR light, allowing it to see in complete darkness without giving off a visible red glow often associated with standard security cameras, maintaining covertness.
Q: How durable is the GX104A when thrown?
A: The GX104A is designed with a robust casing that can withstand drops from up to 2 meters. This durability allows it to be safely deployed by throwing it into target areas for rapid reconnaissance, where it will automatically orient itself and prepare for movement.
