The LVUSS (Long-Range Vehicle Undercarriage Surveillance System) is a small robotic platform aimed squarely at inspection of vehicle undercarriages at ECPs, TCPs, and convoy mustering yards. The LVUSS is provided as a remote inspection platform allowing soldiers to achieve stand-off when trying to inspect underneath various foreign vehicles.
Designed in the field with soldiers in Iraq, LVUSS development tried to solve two current shortcomings in undervehicle inspection in the simplest platform possible: longer range remote inspection and inspection over very rough terrain such as muddy, rutted mustering yards.
- The split-body design with six-wheel drive (concept credit to The Machine Lab) allows for exceptional rough terrain capability while retaining a low chassis height needed for under vehicle inspection.
- Robot runs from standard military batteries, simplifying logistics, saving the military money, making thesoldier’s job easier.
- The controller unit also runs on OCU runs from standard military batteries
- Runtime is a minimum of three hours for each set of robot batteries.
- Total system cost is less than 1/4 the cost of any other similarly capable military robot. Less expensive item cost means more robots available to save lives.
