S-A-I-N-T

S-A-I-N-T Prototype

The Strategic-Artificially-Intelligent-Nuclear-Transport (S-A-I-N-T) robots consisted of five prototypes for the US Department of Defense.

Each unit is reported to have cost $11 Million (USD, 1986) and are both designed and manufactured by Nova Laboratories Inc, Robotics Division, located in Damon, Washington, 98615.

Chief designer Dr. Newton Crosby, Ph.D, initially developed the prototype for use as a marital aide, however the platform was later adapted for use in military applications, namely to do with the delivery of 25 MT nuclear weapons behind enemy lines during the Cold War.

Each S-A-I-N-T unit is outfitted with a left-hand shoulder mounted pulse laser weapon designed to strategically target key structural weakness points on enemy military targets to disable possible counter-insurgent attacks against the platform in the most efficient manner possible. Laser activation and target acquisition mode is indicated visually through the use of red-light optical sensors within the visual eye camera system and through a tell-tale red dot on the front of the laser cannon unit.
