Every year, countless law enforcement officers are injured or killed while trying to stop fleeing vehicles. To eliminate this risk, Shark Robotics created Shark Spike, a remote-controlled spike strip that keeps operators at a safe distance during high-speed interventions. Combining robust engineering, fast deployment, and unmatched precision, Shark Spike redefines tire deflation technology, enhancing safety, control, and efficiency for law enforcement agencies worldwide.
