The TALON, shown in use in Tikrit, Iraq, in 2005, was among the first systems that allowed Soldiers to disarm IEDs from a distance, using a remote controller in the EOD vehicle. In an effort to standardize its robotic platforms and reduce its operational footprint, the Army plans to replace the TALON with MTRS, a 164-pound tracked vehicle that can identify and clear land mines, IEDs and CBRN hazards.
