Guardian
The Guardian ROV is a unique combination of size, payload capacity, reach, dexterity, manoeuvrability and operability supporting EOD missions in both rural and urban settings. The Guardian ROV has been developed to ensure that integration with related equipment and payloads is straightforward. With its quick-change equipment carrier on the payload head you can fit a number of disruptors, X-ray systems and many more accessories with ease. The Guardian’s future proof design and open architecture ensures that your ROV will stand against time whilst eclipsing the capabilities of its current competitors. When it comes to capacity and dexterity, the Guardian’s hybrid extending and folding arm is strong and robust, allowing the deployment of significant payloads up to 30kg. The extension capability avoids deployment difficulties in confined spaces often encountered by the conventional folding arm. The Guardian ROV is supplied as a standard ROV unit with radio communications and its control station.
