DSEI 2025: AimLock and Teledyne FLIR Defense Collaborate on Autonomous Kinetic Capabilities

At this year’s DSEI event in London, AimLock’s autonomous targeting and engagement systems will be showcased on Teledyne FLIR’s SUGV and Kobra ground robots 

LONDON, 10 September 2025 – Today at DSEI UK 2025, AimLock, a pioneer in autonomous targeting and engagement systems, announced it is collaborating with Teledyne FLIR Defense to provide autonomous kinetic capabilities for the company’s SUGV™ 325 and Kobra™ 725 ground robots.  

AimLock’s systems, powered by the company’s Core Targeting Modules (CTMs), will support Teledyne FLIR’s robots in delivering decision-accelerating kinetic autonomy across key mission sets in Counter-UAS, Force Protection, Direct Action, Integrated Defense, Strike Anti Armor, and Support by Fire. As the autonomous battlefield continues to evolve, both companies will be displaying these mission-critical systems at their booths during DSEI. 

On Display at Teledyne’s Booth (S3-110):  

Teledyne FLIR’s SUGV 325, Integrated with AimLock’s RS-2 Solution with Dual 40mm Grenade Launchers SUGV 325, a backpackable robot that offers a versatile solution for a variety of missions, will be integrated with AimLock’s RS-2, a remote engagement speed and accuracy system that powers automated target acquisition and firing solutions. R-S2 can be affixed with a range of weapon systems: dual 40mm grenade launchers, quad M72 rocket launchers, a lightweight machine gun, .50 caliber semi-automatic rifle, and more. 

The R-S2 provides:  

Multi-sensor AI targeting: The system uses edge-processed, multi-modal sensors with AI-enhanced target detection, classification, recognition, and identification. 

Automated stabilized firing: two-axis stabilized positioners provide automated firing solutions with corrections for target and platform motion, environmental conditions, and targeting ranges. 

Flexible integration: open architecture control interfaces integrate into larger combat systems or standalone use, with platform kits available for manned and unmanned air and ground vehicles. 

On Display at AimLock’s Booth (N5-260):  

Teledyne FLIR’s Kobra 725, Integrated with AimLock’s RM-1 The Kobra 725, a powerful, heavy-payload robot, will be integrated with AimLock’s RM-1, a semi-autonomous remote weapon station for medium machine gun platforms. The RM-1 provides:  

An advanced targeting system: The R-M1 combines day/night sensors, laser range-finding, active stabilization, autonomous detection, classification, tracking, and automatic firing to deliver fast, accurate engagement, even while on the move. 

Multi-threat capability: It detects and tracks small drones, vehicles, and enemy combatants, enabling 7.62mm and .338 Norma Mag machine gun engagement out to the host weapon’s effective range. 

Flexible deployment: The ultra-portable system can be mounted on tripods, buildings, vehicles, boats, and helicopters for maximum operational versatility. 

“As autonomy on the battlefield continues to become the status quo, our unique ability to provide autonomous kinetic capabilities is more important than ever,”

said Bryan Bockmon, CEO of AimLock. “We are pleased to collaborate with Teledyne FLIR Defense to power their robots with the kind of technology that helps keep warfighters safe and bring them home from the most precarious of missions.”  

“Globally, our customers are placing a sharper focus on lethality for unmanned systems, which is why our collaboration with Aim-Lock is a win-win,”

said Nate Winn, director of product management, Unmanned Systems North America, at Teledyne FLIR Defense.

“Whether it’s our SUGV or Kobra robots or Rogue 1 UAS, our highly modular platforms can easily integrate a wide range of kinetic effect systems that are proving to be difference-makers in modern warfare.”
