CAMELEON E MK3 UGV Offers Enhanced Capabilities
Recently, ECA GROUP unveiled the latest upgrades to its CAMELEON E Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV). This MK3 version enhances capabilities for Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) and Ordnance Explosive Devices (OED) clearance missions and provides ease of use.
Leveraging on the cutting-edge technologies implemented on its latest IGUANA UGV, ECA GROUP has also upgraded the CAMELEON E robot. The MK3 also comes with an intuitive user interface that is now compatible with the company’s entire range of UGVs.
Typical mission modules such as the manipulator 6 axis arm, the Pan&Tilt zoom camera, the X-Ray system, gripper jaws, disrupters, COFDM transmission, fibre optic transmission, CBRN etc., are fully compatible with the IGUANA UGV range.
CAMELEON MK3 is fully compatible with the UAV IT180, which can be used in collaborating mode on the battlefield in order to give tactical feedback to the operator.
Benefitting from the latest electronic development made for the IGUANA UGV, the CAMELEON E MK3 has seen its internal architecture upgraded. As a result, its technical capabilities have been enhanced to bring a real added value to operators in terms of user-friendliness, accessories compatible, performance and on-field manoeuvrability.
Increased Arm Capacities
One of the main upgrades is the 6-axis manipulator arm, which enhances the UGV’s performance. The arm is now compatible with the IGUANA UGV to reduce the logistic footprint and spare additional costs.
This major upgrade has been designed to facilitate articulated manipulation and offers more possibilities to on-field users, whichever the mission at stake.
Technical improvements implemented allow several advantages, including an increased lifting capability of 4kg when the arm is stretched-out and a double-batched folded arm capacity of 15kg, to handle the manipulation of heavier loads. With this extended capacity, the CAMELEON E can lift the equivalent of the weight of a mid-sized microwave oven.
It also offers an increased range of jaws and claws accessories adapted for several manipulations – grab, move, wire cutting, windows breaker, dropping explosive charge, additional mast camera – allowing, for example, breaking car glass, opening doors (car, building), inspection of suspended ceilings, collecting cylindrical ammunition, etc.
The UGV also has capabilities to fit up to two disruptors on the arm, gaining critical mission time by neutralising several threats in one mission without the need to re-equip the robot in between and has three additional cameras that can be equipped on the arm to maximise the visibility over the operation (one on the turret, two on the wrists).
