US Sends 110 Throwable Reconnaissance Robots to Tunisia Under Foreign Military Sale
The U.S. Army's Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground has issued a solicitation to supply 110 FirstLook robotic systems to Tunisia's military under a Foreign Military Sale. The FirstLook, built by Teledyne FLIR Defense, is a 6.6-pound throwable reconnaissance robot that can survive a five-story fall onto concrete and provides 360-degree video with infrared capability. The contract, set aside for small businesses, includes consumables kits for spare parts. Quotes were due July 17, 2026, with an anticipated award by July 23, 2026. The robots are designed for explosive ordnance disposal, building clearance, and counterterrorism operations, allowing soldiers to see around dangerous corners before entering. Tunisia's acquisition fits a pattern of U.S. partner nations enhancing close-quarters security capabilities against explosive threats.
