RISE™Robotics Phase III Contract with the United States Air Force: A Resounding Success

We're excited to share the thrilling conclusion of our Phase III contract with the United States Air Force, a testament to our commitment to excellence. This multi-phase project began on June 9, 2022, when we were awarded a $1.485 million contract from the United States Air Force. From that point on, we were on a mission to deliver excellence.

Throughout the contract, we crafted and delivered 19 CLD Systems, all of which were accepted by the Air Force. These systems underwent rigorous testing to ensure peak performance. To guarantee uninterrupted operations for the Air Force, we supplied critical spare parts, eliminating the risk of downtime and supply chain disruptions.

In addition to hardware, we developed an operator user manual, which was not only accepted but also highly praised for its clarity and comprehensiveness. This manual empowered Air Force operators with the knowledge they needed to maximize system effectiveness.

Our commitment didn't stop at delivery. From the contract's initiation until September 11, 2023, we provided integrated engineering and logistics support. This ongoing assistance ensured seamless system integration and, most importantly, user satisfaction.

As of September 11, 2023, we successfully concluded the contract. This marks the end of a significant chapter in our journey. Reflecting on this collaboration, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all stakeholders involved. Your trust, collaboration, and feedback were instrumental in our success.

Stay tuned as we continue to strive for excellence and reach new milestones. The future holds exciting prospects, and we can't wait to share them with you.

RISE™Robotics' Role in Decarbonizing Construction Equipment

The carbon emissions from construction equipment are astonishingly equivalent to those produced by international air travel. To put that into perspective, imagine every crane, bulldozer, and excavator spewing as much carbon into the air as all the planes jetting across our skies. This staggering fact emphasizes the urgent need for innovative solutions to combat the environmental impact of construction machinery.

As global demand for infrastructure projects surges with our growing population, so does our responsibility to reduce the carbon footprint of these essential machines. RISE™Cylinder, addresses this challenge head-on.

By transitioning from traditional hydraulic systems to the electromechanical, power-agnostic RISE™Cylinder, we can champion a transformative shift that dramatically cuts energy consumption and emissions. With construction machinery’s overwhelming influence on environmental health, RISE™Robotics’ novel approach stands out as a vital step towards a more sustainable future.

While companies like Danfoss have spotlighted the pivotal role of curbing emissions from heavy machinery in their recent publications, it’s statistics like the comparison to international flights that truly underscore the gravity of the situation. Together, let’s build a future where our cities rise without compromising the health of our planet.
