AITX’s RAD Has Begun 100 Unit Robot Dog ‘RADDOG’ LE

With RADDOG LE Gen2, RAD Further Leans into Law Enforcement Robotics

Detroit, Michigan, March 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Robotic Assistance Devices Inc. (RAD), a subsidiary of Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCPK:AITX), today announced that it began the early production stages for 100 units of its next generation RADDOG™ LE in January 2024. The ‘LE’ version of RADDOG has been specifically designed and produced for law enforcement applications.

Anticipating the positive response it has received to RADDOG LE Gen1’s initial deployment at the Taylor Police Department, RAD initiated plans in January of this year to produce 100 RADDOG LE Gen2 quadruped robot dogs, confirming the Company’s commitment to this emerging space and desire to be the leader. With strong interest from law enforcement agencies nationwide and the anticipated positive results from the Taylor Police Department deployment, RAD is poised to bring continuously improving robotic solutions to law enforcement.

RADDOG LE Gen2 models are expected to roll (walk) off the production line in the September/October timeframe to meet potential growing demand. Drawing from insights expected to be gathered during RADDOG’s initial deployment, RAD will focus on continuous improvements, incorporating new features and functionalities to ensure ongoing innovation. Ultimately, RAD aims to lead the way in the development and adoption of intelligent autonomous devices, contributing to the advancement of security and public safety globally.

“The City of Taylor’s 12-month, $35,000 subscription agreement for RADDOG LE Gen1 represents just the beginning of the revenue potential we anticipate from this next RADDOG LE production,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO and CTO of AITX and RAD. “The street value of the 100 RADDOG LE Gen2 units could deliver the Company possible revenue of $3.5 million in annual recurring revenue, but even more importantly give the Company the leadership position as the foremost solution in this space, a space that we believe will be large and essential.”

“We believe that one day every law enforcement officer will have a robotic canine companion of increasing intelligence and capability,” said Troy McCanna, Sr. VP of Revenue Operations and former FBI Special Agent. Coincidentally, McCanna was an FBI canine handler for 8 of his 23 years with the bureau. “With the increasing challenges of being a law enforcement officer we are certain that autonomous mobile devices will be an absolutely essential part of modern law enforcement in the very near future. We want RAD to lead the way.”

Annual recurring revenue (ARR) is money earned from customers who pay for a subscription to a service or product. RAD’s solutions are generally offered as a recurring monthly subscription, typically with a minimum 12-month subscription contract.
