The Tactical Unmanned Ground Vehicle (TUGV) is a compact, remotely operated platform developed by STRIDE for high-risk reconnaissance missions. Classified as a Micro UGV, it delivers real-time situational awareness and intelligence gathering. This system keeps operators safely at a stand-off distance, providing remote tactical intelligence up to a 100-meter range and significantly reducing personnel exposure to threats. Designed for urban operations, perimeter security, and tactical surveillance, the TUGV enhances mission effectiveness in contested environments. It operates effectively in confined, uneven, and complex terrains while maintaining a low acoustic signature for enhanced stealth capabilities. The platform features an operational endurance of up to 30 minutes. Key onboard technologies include a real-time surveillance video system, integrated thermal imaging, and laser acquisition for precision targeting, all managed through a secure remote-control link.
