QinetiQ has exhibited the Talon 6 explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robot for the first time at the Defence Vehicle Dynamics (DVD) 2022, the British Army's biennial defence industry exhibition, held at the Millbrook Proving Ground from 21 to 22 September.

As the name would imply, the Talon 6 is the latest in the Talon series of EOD unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) developed by QinetiQ, which were previously used widely in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Janes understands that the Talon 6 was developed during the past 24 months in response to requirements from several states, and is being tested by a number of NATO members.

Speaking at DVD 2022, a spokesperson for QinetiQ confirmed that the vehicle would be put forward for procurement under project Dartrose, the British Ministry of Defence's (MoD's) programme for the acquisition of medium EOD UGVs. Janes reported in August that the MoD intends to acquire 50 medium EOD robots under the programme.
