…vehicles. One example is the Jaguar autonomous ground vehicle (AGV) employed by the Israeli Army. The Jaguar uses a COMBATT 6T NATO-standard battery produced by Epsilor Corp. The military robot is deployed around the Gaza Border, and it's also not far from other borders and infantry and special units. The Jaguar has several 6T batteries that provide it with over 16 kilowatt-hours of energy. The Jaguar is a heavy-duty vehicle that's maneuverable in combat and combat-support applications. It works in hazardous environments and requires high energy capacity on board to enable traction in very complex terrains. Epsilor's 6T batteries represent…
