iRobot has announced it has received a $3.7 million order from the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) under an existing Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract.

The order is for delivery of 17 PackBot Man Transportable Robotic System (MTRS) robots and repair parts to NAVSEA by January 31, 2009.

The PackBot MTRS robots are customized for NAVSEA and are modeled after iRobot's proven PackBot 500 with EOD Kit. It is equipped with advanced tools and sensors that enable EOD technicians to detect, identify and disable explosive devices from safe distances.

"As we have seen over the past several years, robots have become an indispensable tool in the identification of explosive devices," said Joe Dyer, president of iRobot Government and Industrial Robots.

"I am pleased that NAVSEA is continuing to provide this technology to our troops, helping to keep them safe as they serve to protect their fellow soldiers and those of us back home."
