Howe & Howe Technologies

Howe & Howe Technologies of Waterboro, Maine, was founded in 2004 (some sources say 2005) by twin brothers Mike and Geoff Howe and is known for tracked vehicles ranging from the fast Ripsaw to the Thermite RS1 and RS3 firefighting robots. Textron Systems has owned the company since 17 December 2018.

The Thermite RS3 became the first firefighting robot of a US fire department in Los Angeles in 2020, followed by units in Collins, Mississippi, and Dallas. Prices are quoted individually, with a GSA listing for federal agencies.
