ECA - Mobile Security and CBRN Robots

ECA designs and manufactures unmanned systems for inspection and intervention tasks covering the needs of different markets such as the defence, security, nuclear and chemical industries. ECA provides a turnkey service of product design, development, production and worldwide logistic support.

Based on a new open architecture, ECA UGVs have already been selected by many end users in charge of complex operations where humans are frequently exposed. ECA product line includes: two small and easy deployable mini-robots for all types of inspection missions, one small modular robot covering a range of missions, from reconnaissance to EOD / IED, detection and neutralization, and one heavy robot for dangerous duty operations.

Throwable remote-controlled mini-UGV

INBOT a 2.1kg remote-controlled mini-robot is ideally designed for fast deployment indoor and outdoor in harsh and dangerous environments. Applications include audio and video inspection and survey missions in the context of urban warfare, security, and anti-terrorist missions.

Mini-UGV for inspection in confined areas

COBRA M.R. is 5.6kg rugged mini-inspection UGV for indoor and outdoor inspection. It carries accessories such as small disruptors, lasers and sensors for EOD and IED detection and neutralization. High shock-resistance and reversibility allow COBRA M.R. to be launched through a window, providing safe inspection before any human intervention.

Lightweight modular UGV

CAMELEON has been designed to perform various duties. Due to is open architecture is capable of receiving different existing and customised payloads for missions such as IEDD, EOD, situation awareness, surveillance, protection, NRBCE detection, jamming, indoor mapping, CBRN data collection and automatic protection.

The plug-and-play modular concept developed by ECA for this robot allows an easy reconfiguration according to the threat. CAMELEON can be deployed in many locations (including flats, urban areas, military bases, airports, aeroplanes and subways).

CAMELEON EOD is the latest UGV generation. It is a lightweight EOD UGV of 40kg (including the manipulator arm). This robot may be used to explosives sampling, package neutralization via disrupter, specific inspections (inside or under vehicle, etc.) and door opening. Some options are available such as Pan&Tilt video camera, laser telemeter, X-ray and disruptor support and spare robot battery.

Powerful EOD vehicle

The EOD / IEDD mobile robot TSR 202 is used wherever human intervention is risky, such as remote manipulation in difficult or dangerous environments, route clearance, suspicious package inspection and dangerous duty operations (explosive systems and booby traps) by specialised security services.

With its specific new options (portable control panel, extended 500m range transmission, automatic umbilical stowing system, and PROPARM and RICHEMOND cannon fitting) the TSR202 can address all types of EOD / IEDD missions.

Guarded system for IED detection

EDA has been awarded a contract for the evaluation, choice and integration of a new robot for IED detection. This contract is managed in collaboration with other European partners and should lead to dispose of new means against IED threats.

SRIP project(firemen intervention robot system)

The SRIP project aims at supplying an answer adapted to the chemical, bacteriological and nuclear threats, in particular via an increase of the capacities of detection and the capacity at acting remotely. The use of robots allows a reduction in the level of hazardous tasks for men.

The mobile base used for the project SRIP is the CAMELEON which allows receiving the payloads meeting the firemen needs.
