QinetiQ North America refurbishing, modernizing Talon robots used by the military: Robots used by U.S. military forces in Iraq and Afghanistan are being refurbished and modernized by QinetiQ North America under U.S. Army and Navy contracts.

The lightweight, tracked Talon robots by QinetiQ were used extensively in the wars in ordnance disposal operations.

"QinetiQ North America is very proud of the role our robots play in providing lifesaving standoff for our warfighters when in harm's way," said Derek Daly, vice president of Land Systems at QNA. "We are also grateful for the confidence shown by the U.S. Military in the robust and reliable capabilities provided through our family of robots."
