Marathon Targets

Marathon designs, manufactures and operates autonomous robotic target systems for live fire tactical training. Its site describes AI-driven, armoured, autonomous robotic humanoids that look, move and behave like people, built to close a training gap in which militaries rarely train with realistic moving targets until they are in actual combat.

History and track record

Marathon says it deployed the world's first autonomous tactical training robots in September 2008, and that it has a record of continuous innovation since then, with a count of miles of autonomous driving under fire shown on its site. It reports that over 90 percent of its new features come from customer suggestions.

Customers

The site lists users that include the US Marine Corps, US Army, US Navy and US Air Force, Canadian Forces, the Australian Defence Force, the UAE Presidential Guard, the Slovenian Army, the Bundeswehr and Poland's Territorial Defense Force.
