NDAA Compliant Tactical Robots
Proudly Designed & Manufactured in the USA
Protect your team with our lightweight tactical robots for Law Enforcement
What is NDAA Compliance?
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is a federal law passed annually by Congress that sets defense policy priorities and funding levels. For law enforcement procurement, the key provision is Section 889 of the FY2019 NDAA (Public Law 115-232), which has remained in effect, and grown stricter, with each subsequent year’s authorization.
Section 889 contains two core prohibitions:
Section 889(a)(1)(A) – Prohibits federal agencies from directly procuring equipment, systems, or services that use covered telecommunications or video surveillance components manufactured by banned companies.
Section 889(a)(1)(B) – Prohibits any federal agency from entering into a contract with any entity — including private companies and local governments — that uses banned equipment in systems tied to federal work. This is the provision most relevant to law enforcement agencies receiving federal grants.
Tactical Robots Built in the USA. Free of Banned Components.
Innvotronics designs and manufactures all tactical robots at our facility in East Setauket, New York. We have been engineering and producing SWAT-grade robots in the United States since 2016. Our supply chain is built around domestic and allied-nation component sourcing, with no reliance on manufacturers named under Section 889 or their known subsidiaries.
What This Means for Your Procurement
- Innvotronics robots can be purchased using Byrne JAG federal grant funds
- Innvotronics robots can be purchased using COPS program grant funds
- Innvotronics robots qualify under UASI (Urban Areas Security Initiative) programs
- Innvotronics robots meet requirements for federally funded state pass-through grant programs
- Innvotronics robots can be listed in your agency’s procurement records as NDAA-compliant equipment
- Innvotronics can provide documentation to support your budget justification and compliance records
Tactical Law Enforcement Robots Made in America
Innvotronics was founded with a commitment to building tactical technology that American law enforcement agencies can trust. Literally and legally. Our tactical robot for SWAT teams are engineered from the ground up in the United States, using our proprietary soft-body construction process that delivers superior durability without relying on foreign defense supply chains.
Manufacturing domestically is not just a compliance checkbox for us. It means faster support, direct access to our engineering team, and the confidence that your equipment was built to American standards by Americans who understand the operational realities your team faces every day.
Federal Grant Funding for Tactical Robots
Budget is consistently cited as the primary barrier to technology adoption in law enforcement — but federal grant programs exist specifically to help agencies acquire mission-critical equipment like tactical robots. Because Innvotronics tactical robots are NDAA-compliant, our NDAA compliant tactical robots are eligible for purchase through these programs.
Byrne JAG
Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant
The Byrne JAG program is the leading source of federal justice funding for state and local jurisdictions. Administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), it provides flexible formula-based funding that agencies can apply directly toward equipment, technology, and training.
- Eligible applicants: State governments, counties, municipalities, and tribal governments
- How funds are distributed: Direct local formula allocations for larger jurisdictions; state pass-through solicitations for smaller agencies
- Allowable uses: Law enforcement equipment, technology, and training — tactical robots fall squarely within scope
- FY2026 status: Active — applications accepted on a rolling basis through state administering agencies
COPS
Community Oriented Policing Services
The COPS program received $800 million in FY2026 appropriations. While primarily focused on personnel hiring and community policing initiatives, COPS funding can be used to procure equipment and technology that supports community-oriented policing deployment.
- Eligible for technology procurement when tied to increasing officer deployment effectiveness
- Strong justification: Tactical robots free up specialized SWAT resources, extending officer capacity
UASI
Urban Areas Security Initiative
For agencies in high-risk urban areas, UASI grants fund equipment and capabilities that enhance regional preparedness and response. Tactical robots used for active shooter response, HAZMAT investigation, and barricaded subject incidents align directly with UASI allowable activities.
- Administered by FEMA’s Preparedness Grants Division
- Strongest fit: MK-8 (multi-story building clearing), HAZMAT use cases, multi-jurisdictional deployments
SHSP
State Homeland Security Program
SHSP grants flow from FEMA to state homeland security advisors, who then distribute funds to local agencies through competitive or formula-based processes. Many state programs allow tactical robot procurement under equipment categories related to surveillance, reconnaissance, and emergency response.
Benefits of Tactical SWAT Robots
Equipped with cameras, sensors, and two-way communication tools, these tactical robots deliver real-time intelligence, enabling SWAT teams to assess and neutralize threats while maintaining a safe distance.
With high-definition cameras, night vision, IR illumination and sensors, tactical robots for SWAT offer unparalleled situational awareness for officers to make informed decisions in real-time.
A tactical SWAT robot can quickly enter and survey areas that may be dangerous or inaccessible to humans, saving critical time during high-pressure situations during SWAT operations.
Designed with direct input from SWAT teams, our tactical robots are built to handle a wide range of tasks, from reconnaissance and surveillance to delivering two-way communication. These robots seamlessly adapt to the unique demands of each operation.
Since 2016, we’ve backed our tactical robots with the industry’s premier warranty.
3 Year No-Fault Warranty
“The warranty is second to none, in the rare event we ever had an issue the Innvotronics team gets our robot back in the fight fast”

Benefits of Using our NDAA Compliant Tactical Robots
When a SWAT team deploys a tactical robot, the last thing a commander should be thinking about is whether the equipment on the ground meets federal procurement standards. Innvotronics MK Series robots are NDAA Section 889 compliant and manufactured entirely in the United States, which means your team gets the operational confidence of knowing the technology in their hands was built to American standards — with no foreign components from manufacturers flagged as national security risks. That matters in the field, where trust in your equipment is non-negotiable, and it matters in the briefing room, where commanders make split-second decisions based on the intelligence those robots provide. From the MK-2 Under Door Camera Robot to the MK-8 Stair Climbing Robot, every Innvotronics product is designed to keep officers at a safe distance from danger while delivering real-time situational awareness — and every one of them does it without creating a compliance liability for your agency.
One of the most practical benefits of choosing NDAA compliant tactical robots is what it does for your procurement process. Because Innvotronics robots meet the requirements of Section 889 of the National Defense Authorization Act, they are eligible for purchase using federal grant funding — including Byrne JAG formula grants, COPS program funds, UASI allocations, and state pass-through programs tied to federal sources. That eligibility can be the difference between a robot sitting on a wishlist and one sitting in your gear bag. Innvotronics also provides the documentation your procurement office needs: signed compliance attestation letters, product specification sheets, and pricing letters formatted for grant applications. Agencies do not need to spend time verifying supply chain details or chasing paperwork from overseas manufacturers — the compliance work is already done, and the documentation is ready when you need it.
Choosing NDAA compliant equipment is not just a procurement checkbox — it is a long-term risk management decision. Federal scrutiny of technology supply chains is expanding with each new defense authorization cycle, and agencies that purchase non-compliant equipment today may face grant clawbacks, contract complications, or forced replacements tomorrow. Innvotronics has been manufacturing tactical robots in the United States since 2016, and our commitment to domestic production means our compliance posture does not change based on shifting international supply chains or geopolitical developments. Every Innvotronics robot also comes backed by a three-year no-fault warranty and a domestic support team that can get your equipment back in service fast — because a robot that is out for repair is not protecting anyone. When your agency invests in an Innvotronics tactical robot, you are investing in equipment that is operationally proven, legally compliant, and supported by a company that will still be here when you need us.
