Teledyne FLIR SUGV 325

The Teledyne FLIR SUGV 325 is an unmanned ground vehicle designed for remote inspection in hard-to-reach areas.

Its onboard visible, thermal, and stitched 360-degree cameras give operators multiple ways to assess the robot’s surroundings from a remote position.

Articulating flippers help the SUGV 325 navigate stairs, slopes, and obstacles, while its modular payload architecture allows the platform to be configured for different operational needs. And an optional 5-DOF manipulator adds the ability to lift and interact with objects remotely.

Extend Inspection Awareness into Difficult-to-Access Areas

Industrial inspections can require teams to evaluate areas where distance, obstacles, or access limitations make direct observation challenging.

A remotely operated ground robot gives inspectors a safe way to gather data without risking personnel safety.

The Teledyne FLIR SUGV 325 combines tracked mobility with HD visible, LWIR, and stitched 360-degree cameras. Operators can use these onboard sensors to observe the robot’s surroundings from a remote position, while white and near-infrared illumination support visibility under different lighting conditions.

Remote Visual and Thermal Awareness

The SUGV 325 combines multiple onboard cameras to help operators assess an area from a remote position.
  • An HD visible camera captures conventional imagery
  • An LWIR camera provides thermal imagery
  • A stitched 360-degree camera expands awareness around the robot as it moves through an inspection area

Together, these capabilities support remote observation and inspection planning. The system gathers visual and thermal information for review, while qualified personnel remain responsible for interpreting the imagery and determining whether additional inspection or confirmation is required.

Mobility Across Stairs, Slopes, and Obstacles

The SUGV 325 uses articulating flippers and a tracked chassis to move across uneven terrain, negotiate vertical obstacles up to 12 inches (30.5 centimeters), and climb stairs with inclines up to 45 degrees.

It can also make zero-radius turns, allowing it to change direction within a limited footprint. Its documented slope capabilities include angles up to 45 degrees vertically and 30 degrees laterally, while its maximum travel speed is 7 mph (11.3 kph).

The SUGV 325 is designed to travel over rugged, uneven terrain

Portable Design for Field Deployment

At about 20 pounds (9.1 kilograms), the SUGV 325 can be carried and deployed by one person. Its compact form helps teams move the robot between inspection locations without the logistics required for a larger robotic platform.

Its IP67 rating and operating temperature range of -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C) support deployment across a range of field conditions.

Battery options allow operators to configure the robot for different operating periods:

  • Two BB-2557 batteries provide up to four hours of runtime
  • Two BB-2590 batteries provide up to eight hours.
SUGV 325 lets you configure payloads and deploy them remotely for inspection data collection

Configurable Payloads and Optional Remote Manipulation

The SUGV 325 uses a modular payload architecture that accommodates compatible mission modules and accessories.

Available payloads include:

  • 5-DOF manipulator: Allows the configured robot to lift objects weighing up to 20 pounds (9.1 kilograms).
  • 30× Zoom Mission Module: Adds 30× optical zoom for applications requiring a closer view of distant details.
  • IOP Plate: Provides a configurable interface based on the IOP mounting standard.
  • Mission Module Adapter: Allows compatible mission modules to mount directly to the chassis.
