COMPACT
A round and canister sized for robotic carriers.
LINE 04 / Robot-Launched Round
THEIR PLATFORM.OUR EFFECTOR.
A planned compact canisterized effector for partner ground and maritime robotic platforms.
PLANNED
01 / Mission
ROBOTS NEED A MAGAZINE.
Ground and maritime robots are arriving in numbers, and many will need an effector they can carry, launch and reload. Ferrus intends to build the round, its canister and the interface, so robot makers can integrate a weapon instead of designing one.
The vehicle shown is a partner-platform concept, not a Ferrus vehicle. Ferrus builds the effector. Partners build the robot.
02 / Design
STANDARD INTERFACE
The Ferrus common canister interface, shared across the family.
PARTNER FIRST
Designed to integrate with other makers' platforms.
SHARED PRODUCTION
Built on the same line, quality system and support model.

04 / Platform
Robot-Launched Round is built on the Ferrus common spine: shared avionics, software, interfaces and production.
- AIRFRAMES AND TOOLING: Common structures, and the tooling to make them at rate.
- AVIONICS: One family of flight and mission electronics across every product.
- FLIGHT AND MISSION SOFTWARE: One software base, built to improve with every flight of every product.
- COMMON CANISTER INTERFACE: A standard mechanical and electrical interface for launch and integration.
- UNIFIED TEST-DATA LOOP: Every test feeds one dataset that every product line learns from.
- PRODUCTION AND SUPPORT: One line, one quality system, one support model.
