jEKYLL

Versatility at the Tactical Edge

jEKYLL is a compact, modular UGV for austere & contested environments. Operating independently or within a coordinated robotics team, jEKYLL UGV extends reach, reduces risk, & increases lethality at the tactical edge.
  • Small footprint, low-signature design
  • Rapid modular payload configuration
  • Heavy lift, push, and tow capability
  • Seamless tactical network integration
  • Tracked mobility for complex terrain

What you need. When you need it.

jEKYLL does it.

At the tactical edge, the hardest jobs are the ones that put people where you'd rather send a machine. jEKYLL was designed to go anywhere, with a compact size, durable frame, and a payload that matters.  When the mission changes, the platform changes with it rather than waiting on a second system to show up.
