Sandia developed and delivered two robotic systems in 2014. The first, the Advanced Ground Sample Collection Platform, is a robotic system that allows operational forces to perform radiation reconnaissance and ground sampling missions following a nuclear detonation. The second, the Multiple Launch Rocket System robotic demilitarization system, is deployed at the Anniston Army Depot to disassemble grenades from the warhead and remove the fuze assembly from each grenade body. Sandia has developed advanced automation solutions for high-consequence tasks and missions for a variety of customers. (6500) IHNS [NAW]
