Gathering documentation is the first step towards satisfying tax reporting requirements. This includes tax residency declarations of account holders and other documents. If customers have changed their circumstances, the financial institution must receive updated data from them. Within thirty days of any change, a new declaration must be filed. This allows the financial institution to provide accurate information about the account holder.

Endeavor Robotics and FLIR were both candidates for the CRSH program. However, FLIR was awarded the contract.
Endeavor Robotics a Massachusetts company that makes unmanned ground vehicles, and other advanced technologies, is called Endeavor Robotics. These platforms can be used for everything from IED clearance to hazmat responses. The company is a leader in UGV delivery and has been honored with several highly coveted Programs of Record. More than 7,000 platforms have been delivered to 55 countries.
The company is currently developing medium-sized robots for soldiers that provide greater maneuverability, increased standoff capability and detect potential lethal threats. The Centaur Unibody Ground Vehicle (UGV) is currently in Army Program.
U.S. Army
After evaluating the robot's performance in an engineering and manufacturing run-off, the Army selected CRS-I as its unmanned ground vehicle. The lightweight robot will have a wide range of payloads and be controlled by a universal controller. Open-architecture design will allow the Army's customization of the robotic vehicle for different missions.
There are four mission payloads for the new system: vehicle-borne IEDs and heavy explosive ordnance. It can travel up to six miles an hour and can clear 32-inch obstacles. It weighs 700 lb unloaded and 1,000 lb loaded. It comes with high-definition camera and a robotic manipulator.
The new CRS-I robot is the first small-scale robotic program for the Army. It will weigh less than 25 pounds and can perform complex tasks such as moving heavy objects. The contract is valued around $164million. It also includes an annual production release and a low rate initial production phase. The next phase involves the delivery of 3,000 robots over the next 1 to 2 years.
