Cobham displayed its explosive ordnance depot (EOD) robot telemax vehicle at Indesec. It is a highly sophisticated, small and versatile EOD robot designed to be operated by bomb disposal engineers, and is best suited for operation in confined spaces like airplanes, underground trains and coaches. It can be controlled by radio link via an optional fibre optic cable or through a three-metre cable. It is the only vehicle in its class to have two tool magazines integrated in the chasis. As a result, the operator saves valuable time, permitting him to concentrate on the actual task at hand. “The robot can climb stairs, enter an airplane, locate the bomb if any, pick it up, take it to a safe place and finally diffuse it,” said a Cobham spokesperson at the show.
