Development of a Non-Lethal Round Detection System for the HEKTR Tactical Training Robot

Abstract

The engineering team at MVP Robotics has focused its efforts on developing HEKTR (Humanoid Engagable Kinetic Training Robot), a drivable three dimensional target intended for military tactical training. Currently, HEKTR is only capable of detecting lethal ammunition rounds while non-lethal rounds are also commonly used for tactical training. Expanding HEKTR's detection capabilities could provide MVP greater business opportunities. This project focuses on the development of a non-lethal target prototype that is capable of interfacing with the existing HEKTR technology. This prototype will serve as a proof of concept and a point to continue development from in the future.
