Description

Compact autonomous ground robot for perimeter security and explosive ordnance detection. AI vision enables autonomous threat classification and area denial.

Piranha's compact size allows it to patrol perimeters that would require dozens of human guards to cover continuously, operating around the clock without fatigue or distraction. The robot's AI threat classification system is trained to distinguish between authorized personnel, animals, and intruders using a combination of gait analysis and visual object detection. Elbit has demonstrated Piranha's explosive ordnance detection capability using ground-penetrating radar and anomaly detection algorithms, offering military bases a combined perimeter security and EOD surveillance solution.

Notable Use

IDF base security trials; export demonstrations at DSEI; AI-driven intrusion detection capability
