MarkV-A1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The MarkV-A1 is a bomb disposal robot designed by Northrop Grumman. It is part of the Remotec ANDROS line, which includes other robotic EODs. MarkV weighs 800 pounds and is about the size of a riding lawn mower. However, with its manipulator arm fully extended, the robot's height can jump to 8 feet. The patented tread system is designed to traverse difficult terrain. The MarkV-A1 can be armed with high pressure water pistols, for disabling bombs, or if necessary, a shotgun.
In total, the MarkV-A1 has four color video cameras, of which include a camera mounted on one of the a pole protruding from the top of the robot. It also features several microphones, lights, and an array of other sensors.
