Generating a Robotics and Autonomous Systems capability

Chironix Robots for Defence deliver unmanned ground vehicles that augment the force
Soldiers walking with a wheeled robot

Chironix is an applied robotics solutions developer. We develop software for application within field robotics, and integrate payloads with UGVs, to generate efficiencies and reduce risk. We were conceived through a Veteran’s intent to get the right capability, to the right people, in the right place and at the right time. From this, we have come to learn a great deal about applying land robotics, in the field environment, to directly support Defence. Our history is rooted in the Australian and U.S pursuit of Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) for Defence. We’ve supported the Defence Industry in varying forms and are positioned to answer your call.

Deploy Deep, Reconnoitre Close, Maintain Surveillance

Our options for unmanned ground vehicles solutions offer ISR capabilities which increase feasibility of action when risk tolerance is low. Chironix enabled robots are designed to execute tasks in operating environments which might be too austere, non-permissive, or even lethal, for humans to act alone.

Operational endurance through robotics

The complexity of sustained logistics within current operating environments demand a greater operational viability period, with less burden on deployed personnel. Chironix robots are suitable for both increasing the capacity of the force element and enabling lines of distribution throughout the echelons.

Enhance the reconnaissance pull

Deploying humans alone inherits risk due to the fog of war. Enhancing force elements with Chironix Robots will enable them to conduct detailed patrols throughout the area of operations. Robots built for humans are a force multiplier – optimise the force for complex manoeuvre and exploit the threat in any situation.

Team tactics for the modernised force

Each team member has a role to play and you can deploy Chironix Robots in whichever role the team needs. Load carriage, sensors, signals and medical – reduce burden on the team and free up the human for the right work. Form more teams, for more tasks, in more places, more of the time.

Use-cases

Chironix undertakes Defence directed Research and Development (R&D); to review and understand discourse on human-machine teaming; to identify the feasibility, suitability and sustainability of field robotic solutions in the Defence application; to develop and trial novel RAS technologies on behalf of Defence science and research organisations.

We were contracted to conduct R&D into two primary Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI), for the unifying purpose of an autonomous casualty evacuation system. One was via varying Graphical User Interfaces and the other was machine vision. 

The outputs of both HMIs was the ability to demonstrate a UGV based TRL 3 autonomous casualty evacuation system, which could be launched from the rear and marry-up with forces near the fight, to resupply and conduct casualty evacuation.

Chironix has serviced differing Defence Industry partners for the purpose of offering, supplying and maintaining holistic capabilities to Defence. We supply and manage robotic platforms; We develop software for remote and automated operations; We integrate payloads for inspection and load carriage.

We have been contracted to provide products and services across both simple and complex procurements. It is common for Defence Industry participants to source the right product as part of their Defence offering - Chironix has enabled this with varying products and services.
