S.A.R.X drone is ready to be shipped!

JAEGERTECH is proud to be helping out the worlds elite search and rescue teams with the all new TR series S.A.R.X drone. Not like the flying drones we hear so much about these days, but more the on the ground, in the ground, up in buildings and down into shafts type of drone. Small enough to fit where most humans can't and with powerful mapping vision radar and sensors to let the rescuers know where to look and what they are in for. It can bring supplies to trapped people and even help them extricate them. The first generation have been on loan to several groups with much success. This full production version will ship out this week to an even wider group for further use where it's needed most. We'll share more of this amazing machine in the weeks to come!

 

JAEGERTECH kills off defense division

In a stunning announcement today JAEGERTECH decided to shut down all military and defense projects and focus all it's efforts and resources to its civilian divisions. The decision was made despite the fact that the GN series mech tanks and A.I. Soldiers have been a huge money-maker for the company.
     "When we started the defense division it was a different world with different priorities" said company CFO Hilmar Thyssen. "We as a company wish to use our advanced technologies and talents to further the advancement of the human race rather than to harm humans, wether friend or foe."
      JAEGERTECH has been focusing on it's racing and search and rescue divisions for the past 2 years. It's FRS series mechs and S.A.R.X drones have been at the forefront of their research and development and are the most advanced machines available for purchase right now. The triple victory of it's new FRS-XX 'Nuthin but Mech' racing team this year have thrust the company into world wide spot light and acclaim. The decision seems to have come at the right time as the company's stock ticked up slightly even after many investors backed out. It seems a new bread of investors were already set to take their place.
     "We have a lot more to offer the world and I for one am proud to be a part of a company that has a vision for a positive and prosperous future." Said Alex Jaeger, founder and chief designer.
   The current GN series will be serviced by a 3rd party company as of yet to be determined.
 

FRS-XX ready to debut...

After much work and dedication to getting the FRS-XX ready to be fully revealed, we're ready to start showing you some more close up details of this amazing machine. In doing so we also redesigned the driver suit and VR display helmet. Since the vehicle has no windows, all control is viewed through the helmet display. This keeps the weight and complexity of the vehicle down by not having large onboard screens and allows full unobstructed views to the driver. More to come!

May the 4th be with you, Star Wars Legion Project!

I had the pleasure of creating a helmet for the Star Wars Legion project. Over 250 small helmets were given out for artists to do what ever they wanted. Some amazing stuff! Here's the JAEGERTECH entry, "Imperial Racing". Made from parts of a motorcycle model, I made this to be a cool cafe racer / racing helmet. I even used part of the packaging for the visor top and goggles.

Ayrton Senna would be 54...
