IMS Intelligent Management System, LLC, A W.E.C. COMPANY conceived the idea embodied in The LYNX UGV Unmanned Ground Vehicle. The LYNX Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) is a remotely operated autonomous robotic platform outfitted with multiple sensors, technologically advanced equipment, and global communication systems.

IMS has invented the concept of The LYNX-UGV which is a remotely operated autonomous vehicle platform outfitted with Multiple Sensors that can easily be customized and enhanced for specific project requirements. In addition to the Multiple Sensors, the LYNX-UGV is also outfitted with a Satellite Communication System which transmits data in real-time from remote areas to designated locations anywhere in the world. The LYNX-UGV platform contains the most technologically advanced equipment and innovative solutions commercially available in the market place. The following is a detailed description of the functions of the equipment on The LYNX-UGV platform:

• Robotic Platforms include the autonomously operated Toolcat UGV that carries all the Sensors, the UAV Helicopter and the “Chaos Robotic Slave Vehicle” equipped with the Stereoscopic Surfacing Imager to produce 3D Virtual Walk Through of building interiors along with the ability to produce highly accurate measurements;
• A rugged 3D Laser Scanner Based Imaging and Digitizing System produces dense point cloud data to create 3D images of structures and other objects. The Laser Scanner can perform a full 360 degree with millimeter accuracy and return the data to the Base Station in real-time. The elimination of any need for post-processing allows for decisions to be made rapidly in the field;
• IP v6 Compliant Cameras and audio recording cameras with 360 Degree Pan, Tilt, and Zoom, Video and Audio Recording, and Low Light Vision;
• Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to locate and identify buried objects;
• Magnetic Imaging to complement the GPR when required depth and/or wet soil conditions adversely impact the GPR;
• Rugged Gun Mount to carry the 3D Laser Scanner, Tracking Radar, the Night/Day Camera and the Heavy Caliber Automatic Weapon;
• Day/Night Camera for surveillance and observation;
• Tracking Radar for detecting targets and directing cameras and/or heavy caliber vehicle mounted gun (optional) to the targets of interest;
• 3D Stereoscopic Camera for producing 3D images for ground Surveillance and measuring;
• Heavy Caliber Automatic Weapon is optional equipment;
• A Fly and Drive Satellite System providing a shippable quick response communications system including rapidly deployable voice, data, and video communications capabilities to virtually anywhere on short notice;
• and
• GPS for providing guidance for the autonomous vehicles and performing Field Surveys.
