Q-UGV Fidus

The Fidus Q-UGV from Roark is a Quadrupedal Unmanned Ground Vehicle. Fidus offers exceptional capabilities in all terrains, including unstructured environments.

Fidus has a number of interchangeable attachments built to modular specifications for in-field interoperability, these include:

72mm Air Burst Munition with automated targeting system

Manipulator Arm

Security Payload with video recording, disruption and dispersion systems.

Communications Hub (CBRN / SATCOM)

As standard, Fidus is equipped with 360 degree FLIR and Hyper Spectral Optics with in-built LiDAR and acoustic sensors, trained to identify mission critical noises at vast range. Fidus also carries our edge based control hub- Plexus enabling automated decision making based on ontologies and AI.
