Details of this came to the fore during a military exercise (MILEX) held on 15 July
and intended to hone their skills.

According to information obtained by _Military Africa_, the Throwbot® 2 (TB2) robot
is a throwable micro-robot platform that enables operators to obtain instantaneous
video and audio reconnaissance within indoor or outdoor environments.

Once deployed, the robot can be directed to move through a structure and transmit
realtime video and audio to the OCU II. These reconnaissance features can locate
and identify subjects, confirm presence of hostages and reveal the room layout.

The Throwbot 2 enhances indoor clearance by locating and identifying targets, confirming
the presence of histages as well as revealing the layout of a room before it can
be breached.

The Throwbot® 2 robot can be thrown into hazardous situations in order to allow 
operators to quickly make informed decisions.
