AutoInspect preprint reports an independently configured Husky A200 with visual teach-and-repeat, Hokuyo lidar, Bumblebee2 camera, multispectral/thermal sensing and Wibotic docking. June22–August1,2024 biodiversity deployment accumulated 33 autonomous hours and over14km; longest mission1h45m. Jackal integration was ongoing/simulation. This validates the research integration, not stock A300/AMP or OutdoorNav endurance or GNSS-denied performance.

Warthog is offered as an outdoor UGV with ROS 2 Jazzy, mounting/power/I/O interfaces and optional sensing/manipulator packages. Advertised maximum payload 272 kg and land speed 18 km/h are model-specific; brief water locomotion is not a marine patrol or underwater capability. Runtime prose up to 8 hours differs from the nominal 2.5/3-hour battery table.

Clearpath offers mechanical, electrical and software integration plus post-delivery support. Named examples include Ridgeback lift kits, Boxer RFID inventory scanner, HITT Husky site-presence integration and dual-arm Warthog. These are provider-described integrations, not proof of general commercial acceptance.
