Allen BombTec™ Defender ROV
"The most universally versatile ROV available"

The Allen BombTec™ DEFENDER remotely operated vehicle is the result of extensive design programmes in both the UK and the US. Drawing on more than 30 years experience of escalating terrorist sophistication, Defender is designed to cope with present and future threats. As well as providing advanced features to deal with developing terrorist techniques, such as NBC devices, the principles of a strong, robust, versatile but reliable vehicle are fundamental to the design.

Significant innovations include: Chem-Bio wash down capability, Distributed Architecture electronic infrastructure (i.e. the robot and all of its electronic devices are literally configured as a computer network), Spread Spectrum RF Telemetry, Articulating rear axle and the use of high strength, light weight Titanium in the vehicle¹s construction. Operational control is either by umbilical cable, or by wireless SSRF telemetry to a range of up to 2Km line of sight (omni-directional antenna). The vehicle is of modular construction; simplifying maintenance and adding flexibility to its mission profile capability. The Defender is ready to deploy and incorporates a wide range of accessories in the standard package.

BombTec™ Defender ROV

Standard Equipment

  • Complete Titanium ROV with hydraulic arm and claw assembly
  • Briefcase command control console
  • Integrated SSRF encrypted bi-directional digital telemetry system
  • Integrated dual video streamers
  • 5 video cameras including starlight control
  • Bluetooth hand controller
  • Spread spectrum RF control system

Unique features

Encrypted Spread Spectrum Radio Frequency Telemetry, up to 2km line of sight and flicker free video images - control over long distances in built-up areas and buildings.

Bluetooth hand control - Distributed architecture with digital bi-directional control system.

Capability to integrate networked sensors /devices: e.g. Chemical agent detector, Stethoscope, Electronic Counter Measures.

On-board diagnostics.

Unique stair-climbing ability for a wheeled ROV, torsion limited articulating front and rear axles. In addition rear axle also drops to follow contours of wheel climb.

6 wheel drive, each wheel is directly and independently driven (no belts or chains).

Primary construction in titanium. (High Strength - Low Weight = High power to weight ratio = improved performance).

Powerful hydraulic manipulator with a lifting capacity of up to 75kgs (165lbs).

2500mm (98") reach without use of add-ons.

Environmentally sealed to facilitate rigorous and repeated Chem-Bio 'wash down'.

Automatic electromechanical brakes fitted to centre wheels.

Short circuit proof.

Battery status and RF field strength of ROV displayed at console.

Securing firing system with status display at console.
