The robot consists of a Mastiff 2 protected patrol vehicle, a Buffalo mine protected vehicle with a rummaging arm, a JCB high mobility engineer excavator, a micro air vehicle and a Talon tracked remote-controlled robot.
The robot has been designed to provide an increased level of assurance along routes.
The MAV uses two cameras to feed information back to a laptop enabling the commander to make better decisions in the battlefield.
