We also to uncover arms caches learned about operating in confined spaces, in and defeat IEDs obscure locations, and about modular design . Jumping forward to 1998, ‘Urbie’ was delivered to 2004 the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Small Unmanned (DARPA) as the first mobile military reconnaissance Ground Vehicle (SUGV) contract won robot for operations in urban terrain . Urbie proved that a light, tracked robotics platform could move and adapt to support soldiers on the battlefield . After more refinement and testing, Urbie became the PackBot® . 2009 In 2002 PackBot was delivered and deployed with U .S . Early Kobra systems delivered to the field troops in Afghanistan .
