FLIR FirstLook
Throwable reconnaissance robot · 110 & 125
A throwable, rugged robot that goes in first. FirstLook is built to be thrown or dropped into a structure, right itself when flipped over, and send back what it sees and hears before anyone enters. Two models: the FirstLook 110, an expandable robot controlled from the uPoint® Multi-Robot Control system, and the FirstLook 125, a throwable, personal reconnaissance robot with HD and thermal cameras.
Shown: FirstLook 125
Throw it. Look before you go in.
FirstLook is made to go where other robots can’t fit or maneuver, and to report back first. The 110 is quick to power-up and can be deployed in a moment’s notice; the 125 is engineered for tactical deployment through windows, doorways, and confined spaces. Here is the sequence.
- 01
Throw
125Throwable distance of 32.8 ft (10 m), for deployment through windows, doorways, and confined spaces. 110Can be inserted into structures to provide feedback before entry.
- 02
Land & self-right
The 110 survives 16 ft (5 m) drops onto concrete; the 125 is engineered to sustain 16 ft (5 m) drops and self right instantly to remain mission ready.
- 03
Move
Zero radius turn and 30° slopes on both. Obstacles up to 7” (17.8 cm) (110) or 6” (15.2 cm) (125). The 110 overcomes curbs; the 125’s articulated flippers push through debris.
- 04
Look & listen
110Visual, audio, and sensor feedback before entry. 125Real time visual, thermal, and audio situational awareness, with two way audio.
FirstLook 110 vs 125
Same idea, different emphasis. The 110 is the expandable one: payload ports, a manipulator option and optional CBRN/HazMat sensors. The 125 is the lighter, faster personal reconnaissance robot with 360° HD cameras, front and rear thermal cameras and a user replaceable battery.

Throwable, rugged, expandable.
FirstLook is a throwable, rugged and expandable robot that provides immediate situational awareness, performs persistent observation and investigates dangerous and hazardous material while maintaining a safer stand-off distance for operators.
- 01
Throwable, rugged, and maneuverable
Weighing 6.6 lb (3 kg), FirstLook survives 16 ft (5 m) drops onto concrete.
- 02
Highly maneuverable
FirstLook climbs obstacles up to 7” (17.8 cm) high, overcomes curbs, turns in place and self-rights when flipped over.
- 03
Multi-sensor capability
Audio capability is integrated into FirstLook. Optional CBRN/ HazMat sensors available.
- 04
uPoint® Multi-Robot Control System
Using the touchscreen-based ruggedized tablet controller, an operator can select from across the family of connected robots.
- 05
Superior communications
The MPU5 radio operating on the Wave Relay® MANET allows the robot to penetrate deeper into complex structures and further downrange.

FirstLook 110 applications
- Building clearing
- Close-in scenarios
- CBRN/ HazMat detection
- Surveillance/ reconnaissance
- Remote inspection
Personal reconnaissance, day or night.
Built for real world abuse, FirstLook 125 is a lightweight 5.7 lb (2.6 kg) robot engineered to sustain 16 ft (5 m) drops and self right instantly. Its enhanced EO/IR camera suite, integrated illumination, and two way audio provide situational awareness in low light, GPS denied, and cluttered environments.
- 01
Lightweight, man portable design
Purpose built for single operator carry, enabling rapid deployment and sustained dismounted operations without degrading mobility or endurance.
- 02
Throwable and droppable
Engineered for tactical deployment through windows, doorways, and confined spaces, allowing immediate emplacement without compromising sensing, mobility, or system survivability.
- 03
Highly mobile
Advanced tracked mobility optimized for stairwells, rubble, and uneven terrain, delivering stable, reliable movement in complex environments.
- 04
Integrated day/night ISR with secure, real time link
Visible and infrared imaging provides continuous situational awareness, paired with encrypted, low latency video and control links for immediate operator decision making.
- 05
Controller compatibility
The single handed tactile device combines an intuitive design with an analog pan/tilt joystick and throttle control, enabling confident, gloved operation in fast moving environments. Compatible with FirstLook 125 and Black Hornet® 4.
