After years or touring around the world some of the Star Wars Legion mini Stormtrooper helmets have come to be featured in a new Star Wars book all about Stormtroopers.

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...

Had he not died 20 years ago, Ayrton, the 3 time World Campion F1 driver, would've been 54 this Friday, March 21st.
So we at JAEGERTECH would like to celebrate by bringing out our Senna tribute FRS-XX mech once more.

Rough teaser clip

Tests for an upcoming teaser/promo for JAEGERTECH and Nuthin but Mech Vol2!
Again, this is a rough work progress...

CRS-XX??

Here's a tease of some possible things to come from Jaegertech Automotive Groupe. Using the main chasis from the new FRS-XX mech, we grafted on wheels in place of the the legs and dropped the driver into a central location. This is just a crude test bed, but the wheeled division has taken an interest in further studies in this direction. So stay tuned for more!

Ayrton Senna Tribute FRS-XX!

We love paying tribute to the legends that came before us, and 3 time world F1 champion Ayrton Senna is one of the biggest. Joining with McLaren and Honda to get the telemetry data from his winning race laps we re programed the T6 autopilot to adapt his style to the FRS-XX. After just 3 test runs it has out paced all other pilots in the very same machine! Showing just how far ahead he was not only in his time, but ours as well.
     This tribute version is on display at this years concours d'elegance in Monterey CA.
Long live the legend above and beyond!

The FRS-XX in action!

Rally photographers were treated to an unusual sight as the FRS-XX ripped up the 4 stages of the Norwegian forest early Wednesday morning. Piloted by Kurt Allen and co-pilot Lucas Thyssen and adorned in Legendary Martini Racing livery, the FRS-XX took 1st in it's class and trounced it's wheeled counterparts.
     More to come from JAEGERTECH!

FRS Comparison

We decided to show you the differences between our 2 active FRS models. "Although they share many design cues they could not be more different." Says the designer, Alex Jaeger of ALXART design in California. On the left is the FRS-32R from last season. It proved to be a champion in the solo division and faired 2nd in the South American Dakar. It is still making waves in the pro- am circuit and by no means a by gone model. Following in the footsteps of legendary companies like Audi and McClaren  who continued to improve upon perfection in their race machines, so to JAEGERTECH has done the same. On the right is the new FRS-XX model. Side by side you can se the vast improvements in streamlined design and engineering. Shorter, thinner and lighter the XX is a technical marvel in that we added 2 more legs and space for a co-pilot. Using new leg mounted driver motors we were able to move much of the leg controls out of the body and into the joints themselves. A central carbon nano-fiber spine gives it stiffness and safety for our 2 drivers while integrating the chassis mount points further inboard. All cables and control contacts are shrouded inside the suspension struts for protection and for a clean, efficient design. 

Stay tuned for more info and details from JAEGERTECH as the summer continues! Also go like the ALXART fan page on face book to keep informed.

S.A.R.X in Pure Form

Hot on the heals of the FRS-XX release comes the reveal of the JAEGERTECH S.A.R.X drone mech. Presented in 'pure form' to show off the pure design shapes, this TR series drone is a specialized for extreme hazard search and rescue missions. It has the ability to crawl into tunnels and vertical shafts without a tether by extending it's multiple curved legs out. Advanced non optical mapping and vision arrays allow it to peer through complex surfaces to help rescue personal know exactly where to go or not to go in a dangerous situation. Saving lives and collecting information is the S.A.R.X 's main objectives. Be sure to follow our blog to stay up to date on all the latest JAEGERTECH releases.

The FRS-XX in "Pure Form"

JAEGERTECH is proud to reveal the new stunning FRS-XX design by ALXART in 'Pure Form'. Presented here in these ambient occlusion images to strip away all the reflections, textures and decals to reveal the basic forms to see the sleek design clearly. We completed our trials and we are excited to say the FRS-XX performed above our expectations! We've had some interest in making small desktop models of our FRS series mechs for clients and those who can't afford the real thing. If you are interested we would love to hear from you! Drop us a note via alxart and we'll see what we can do!

thanks again for stopping by loyal mech drivers and pass on the word about JAEGERTECH!

The JAEGERTECH S.A.R.X drone!

On the heals of the FRS-XX 'tease' comes the release of this image of the new Search And Rescue X drone from JAEGERTECH. The S.A.R.X is a smaller and far more daring design addition to the drone  series and a new branch off of the previous TR drones. Boasting flea-like swept leg designs that are capable of getting this drone to scale a vertical shaft without the use of a tether and non-optical vision systems, this drone can be deployed into the most hazardous situations. This image is of the early release test mule, although the final design will be very similar.

We teased the top view of the S.A.R.X a few weeks ago, but much progress has been made since then. Test trials are still adding to it's effectiveness in the field and a final version will be made available later this year.
Thanks again for your interest in JAEGERTECH and be sure to let our team know what you think! Also check out the blog of our lead designer ALXART!
