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!

 

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!

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

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.

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.

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!

Official story on the 'leaked' spy shot FRS-XX

A few days ago an image was posted on Nuthin' But Mech blog of the rumored FRS follow up racing mech. The image was indeed of our newest addition to the FRS racing mech program, the FRS-XX. Deep in testing at the black forest test circuit in Southern Germany our crew was there for 14 days testing the new leg systems and contact shoes. Admittedly this image was taken by our official photographer Lucas Thyssen, but the 'leak' was more of a... 'peek' as Derek D of FLD might say :) We will reveal more info as the testing progresses, with the official full reveal in December this year. As the pic reveals we are working with Nuthin' But Mech Racing this year as a new sponsor and we continue to work with ALXART as our design team. We have other projects in the pipe as well, but right now our main focus is the FRS-XX and the new drone mech we mentioned a week ago. Our partners asked us to withhold any more official info for now, so enjoy the spy pick and let us know what you think so far!
Tschüss!

New Jaegertech on the way!

Hallo!
After several months of focusing on getting the current batch of JAEGERTECH mechs out the door and into the hands of consumers, we've secretly been working on a few updates to the line. Our marketing and PR group has allowed us to share this tease of a work in progress mech rumored to be of the unmanned drone type. Specs are still under wraps as we are working toward a June release for this and another mech. Both mechs being designed by our exclusive designer ALXART in California. The second mech (not pictured yet) has been rumored to be an update to the successful FRS-Racing mech. The JAEGERTECH racing team has been working on a whole new chasis inorder to make it more durable and possibly seat 2 in prep for a Dakar dominating machine... more to come!
Tschüss!

JAG's GN-series mech pilot

Here's another peak at JAEGERTECH's flagship GN series, this time with a glimpse of the new 'auto' pilot. This human form mech pilot can be added to the package for smaller recon and discrete missions away from or in tandem with the GN-oo1X1 tank. Complete with the same Xi series A.I. as the tank the Pilot and the tank are completely in sync and act as a lethal team. Read more in the  Nuthin' But Mech book from Design Studio Press.

The JAEGERTECH GN-001Xi

Here's a post release image of the JAEGERTECH GN-0001Xi, the flagship of the defense division. This walking menace is surprisingly quick and quiet thanks to maximum use of composite materials and advanced super conductive drive systems. ALXART designed this latest version with the fear factor in mind. A creepy almost silent whirrr emanates from this beast in rest mode. Even more stealthy is the cushioned step system that allows it to walk with a subtle thud and a hiss from each footfall. The pop up turret can raise to clear cover and rotate 360 degrees. The twin barrel cannon can be fitted with an array of firepower depending on mission specs. Piloted by one or two soldiers or unmanned with JAEGERTECH's Xi artificial intelligence, the GN-001Xi is a force on it's own. Watch for more updates!
