Talon EOD Robot with Innovative Battery (IMAGE) Office of Naval Research Caption The Office of Naval Research TechSolutions department hosted a demo and final review of the recently completed Talon EOD robot Battery Replacement project. The battery replacement project was prompted by a request from the II MEF, 8th Engineering Battalion and resulted in a solution provided by Penn State University's Applied Research Laboratory that utilizes standard military batteries resulting in reduced cost, increased run time, and elimination of a custom battery charger. TechSolutions is an innovative, transformational business process created by the Chief of Naval Research and focused solely on rapidly delivering needed technology to the Fleet/Force.
