    Description

    Ghost Vision 60

    Fast, Agile, and Unstoppable

    Designed to go where others can’t.

    The Ghost Robotics Vision 60 Q-UGV® (5th Gen 5.1D or later) is a mid-sized, high-endurance quadrupedal unmanned ground vehicle engineered for operations in complex, unstructured environments. Built for defense, CBRNE response, homeland security, and advanced enterprise use, the Vision 60 is agile, weatherproof, and mission-ready—with a design that thrives in both urban and off-road terrain.

    Whether deployed for force protection, surveillance, perimeter patrol, or CBRNE reconnaissance, the Vision 60 gives teams a robotic advantage in high-stakes, high-risk environments—without sacrificing capability or control.
