iRobot Awarded $64.3 Million Contract for PackBot Robots
BURLINGTON,
Mass., June 02, 2006 – iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT) today announced that it has been
awarded a $64.3 million Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for iRobot
PackBot® EOD robots, spare parts, training and repair services. The award was granted by
the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division on behalf of the Robotic Systems Joint
Project Office at Redstone Arsenal, Ala. Under the terms of the IDIQ contract, the military could
order up to the full $64.3 million value in robots, spare parts, training and repair services.
The robots purchased under this contract will be used to support U.S. forces in Iraq, Afghanistan
and elsewhere, to conduct the critical mission of identifying and disposing of Improvised Explosive
Devices (IEDs). To date, iRobot has delivered more than 500 PackBot robots to a broad range of
military and civilian customers around the world. These robots have performed tens of thousands of
missions in Iraq and Afghanistan and are credited with saving scores of soldiers’ lives.
“This contract serves as a testament to the role the PackBot plays in soldiers’ lives as they face
IED threats every day,” said Vice Admiral Joe Dyer (U.S. Navy, ret.), executive vice president and
general manager, iRobot. “Warfighters have embraced the PackBot not just for its life-saving
utility, but also for its superior ruggedness and versatility in combat.”
iRobot is a leading developer of robots for the U.S. military. The company is building and
delivering PackBot robots to meet current orders of more than $43 million for the Naval Sea Systems
Command’s Man Transportable Robotic System (MTRS) program. As a lead partner on the U.S. Army’s
groundbreaking Future Combat Systems (FCS) program, iRobot is developing the Small Unmanned Ground
Vehicle (SUGV), which is based upon the combat-proven PackBot platform, to meet the needs of
21st-century warfighters.
