New Robots Improve Security While Reducing Costs at NNSS
The Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) has brought the first of three Mobile Detection Assessment Response System (MDARS) robots online to improve security patrols at remote portions of NNSS. The small autonomous robot, which is remotely operated from a command center at NNSS, is designed to perform random patrols.
