has
been awarded
a patent for a modular firing system that makes a robot's
actions safer and more reliable when disposing
of dangerous explosive
devices. iRobot has a long commitment to building robotic
products that
make living safer and easier for people in many walks of
life.
ATF is also hosting both the Bomb
Management Center and the multi-agency Joint
Information Center (JIC), serving as a clearinghouse
for all media inquiries.
In 1978, ATF developed the National Response Team (NRT) to assist federal

The firing
system allows bomb technicians and soldiers to fully
control the ability to fire and safely detonate
dangerous explosives
at maximum standoff distances, keeping them out of harm's way.
iRobot's new
patented technology overcomes this problem with
layers of safety, including multiple electronic redundancies
and
resistance to electrostatic discharge. They are ready to
handle responsibilities related to
the prevention, detection and response to
