Marathon Targets, formed in 2007, is an Australian company based in Sydney which designs and manufactures the world’s first and only autonomous robots for tactical training.
Autonomous robots solve a fundamental training gap of all militaries: the only time they perform live fire training with realistic moving targets – is in actual combat.
Marathon eliminates this fatal gap with armored, autonomous robotic humanoids that look, move, and even behave like people.
• Marathon offers a full line of intelligent training robots – outdoor robots, indoor robots, and vehicle robots – to cover all requirements for realistic live-fire training
• All robot models interoperate and are designed to be complementary in terms of range types and training requirements
• All robots use the same communication equipment and are operated through the same command & control user interface
• Track record in deploying robotic solutions for military training. 20,000+ training events. 300,000+ km of autonomous driving under fire. 20,000,000+ rounds fired
• Autonomy is the enabling technology which brings the robots to life. A single operator can safely control dozens of robots, even at long range and out of sight
• Our military end users have tripled lethality in just one day by training against a Robotic OPFOR – a thinking, adaptive, and unpredictable enemy force
• Ranges can be modernized overnight instead of over years. Even an open field can be converted into a state-of-the-art range in hours
• Robots can be either purchased or rented through Training as a Service (TaaS) contracts
• Whether you need robots for a day, a week, quarterly, or 24/7, we can make it happen
