Important results from the project
The goals were met in the project even though contacts with the defense took time to establish. Once on site we received very good feedback from our defense contacts FOI, FMV, FM (C-protection). Eligibility requirements spec from the repository is very good for the development of our civilian systems.
Expected long term effects
We are pleased to have demonstrated sniffer robots for the defense, which has opened up many future applications. As a developer, you often see the needs, but not always how the systems will work in the customer´s environment. That is why close collaboration is invaluable - in dialogue, solutions can be shaped, tested and improved. We have high hopes that sniffer robots will soon become part of the defense system of the future.
Approach and implementation
The project ultimately delivered the results we expected and exceeded the goals. However, the central schedule was not met when contacts with FM were delayed, which meant that important needs and design requests were received late. Our robots therefore had to be reworked at the end, resulting in additional costs and extra work. Nine months is too short a time to establish a functioning dialogue between companies and authorities.
