Tomorrow's ROV, available today

Allen Vanguard

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.
