Release of the SAVER assessment results and UGV reports on the SAVER page on S&T's website.

Source summary
DHS S&T’s National Urban Security Technology Laboratory (NUSTL), the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), and federal, state, and local responders ran a four-day SAVER assessment in August to evaluate three commercially available unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) across HAZMAT, disaster search-and-rescue, and EMS victim-assessment scenarios at the EPA Region 2 Laboratory in Edison, New Jersey. Participants tested capabilities such as sensing, manipulation, mobility (including stairs and rubble), communications, and battery/operability features. Data collectors and subject matter experts captured responder feedback on 20 evaluation criteria across capability, usability, and deployability; NUSTL will publish the full assessment results on the SAVER page soon.

Latest fact check

The statement indicates that the National Urban Security Technology Laboratory (NUSTL) will release assessment results and related unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) reports on the SAVER page of the Science and Technology Directorate's (S&T) website. However, as of December 20, 2025, these specific reports have not been publicly released. The SAVER program has previously published assessments on UGVs, such as the "Multifunctional Unmanned Ground Vehicles for Emergency Response" market survey report (dhs.gov) and the "Small Platform Tactical Robots Assessment Report" (dhs.gov). Given the lack of publicly available information on the new assessment results and UGV reports, the statement cannot be verified at this time.
