MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 18 (UPI) -- Braintech Inc. has received a subcontract to provide the U.S. Office of Naval Research with support for the Automated Weapons Assembly project.
British company BAE Systems awarded Braintech's Government and Defense subsidiary the subcontract as part of the Automated Weapons Assembly project phase II.
BAE is working with Par Systems and Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University as part of the Office of Naval Research project. Officials say Braintech was awarded the subcontract to support the development of automated assembly solutions for the AWA project based on its Vision Guided Robotics technology.
"With its unique vision guidance software technology and dedicated technical team, Braintech is developing a critical system component that was key to proving to the customer that weapon assembly could be automated," Adam Marsh, BAE Systems program manager, said in a statement.
"This will reduce the number of sailors required, reduce the risk of injuries and provide a reliable, repeatable process for the Navy. BAE Systems is very pleased to have Braintech on the AWA team and looks forward to a highly successful project."
