A Report On Eod Robotics

Through the Operational Projects Unit (OPU), “technical support is provided through crime scene survey, crime scene documentation, demonstrative court presentation, three-dimensional physical models, and crime scene photography” (“Crime Scene Documentation”, n.d.). The role of the Evidence Response Team Unit (ERTU) is to, “provide traditional and hazardous evidence collection capabilities to the FBI field Evidence Response Teams (ERTs), Hazardous Evidence Response Teams (HERTs), Hazardous Evidence Response Components (HERCs), Underwater Search and Evidence Response Teams (USERTs), and law enforcement partners” (“Evidence Response Team”, n.d.). The purpose of the Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center (TEDAC) is to “receive, fully analyze, and exploit all terrorist improvised explosive devices, of interest of the United States” (“Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center (TEDAC)”, n.d.). Through the Counterterrorism and Forensic Science Research Unit

Though this robot is no longer in commission due to lack of funding, it is still a great illustration of the potential of technology (Nautilus). “Using the tone and location of the reports, Nautilus predicted the outcome of the Arab Spring and the location of Bin Laden to an area with a 125-mile radius in northern Pakistan, when many experts thought Bin Laden was hiding in Afghanistan” (Nautilus tech). This robot had the abilities to do a lot of good by predicting the future. By the same token, if it were wrong about an event, or if it were in the wrong hands, it could cause a lot of

Singer describes Iraq operations as they were being performed in 2008 with the threat of Improvised Explosive Devices, IEDs. “The Explosive Ordnance Disposal, EOD, teams were tasked with defeating this threat, roving about the battlefield to find and defuse the IEDs before they could explode and kill.” 3 Robots such as Packbot and Talon were used to disarm IEDs which save lives of Soldiers and civilians. The proliferation of technology in the battlefield can be seen in today’s combat environment on the ground, sea and air and will continue to grow. He states that “man’s monopoly of warfare is being broken” because digital weapons such as Packbot, Talon, SWORDS, Predator, Global Hawk and many others are a “sign” that “we are entering the era of robots of war.” 4 He supports his theory of the proliferation of technology in weapons by looking at industry growth by providing quantifiable data of rapid growth in industry to meet demands. As he states “in 1999, there were nine companies with federal contracts in homeland security. By 2003, there were 3,512. In 2006, there were 33,890.” 5 Mr. Singer then provides a history of robots, trends, and what we can expect in the future. The book also provides a glimpse of what the author believes can be expected on future battlefields and changes that he thinks U.S. policy makers and military leaders need to address. Some of the changes that can be affected concern law of war, robots role in war, level of robot authority to fight wars and robot

This investigative lab studies the development and movement of robotic devices. The objective of this lab experiment in particular was to create a simplistic version robotic beetle that can move and react in the same manner as the household autonomous robotic vacuum device; the Roomba. Using items one could find within one’s home, the investigator utilized simple materials to create a simplistic autonomous robotic device that would contain the basic features of a Roomba, primarily the feature that implements the ability to essentially avoid objects rather than run straight into them, allowing the robotic device to move about a room with little to no outside

Safety should one of the main concerns of the United States people. Dallas law enforcement has found just that for us. By using the robot back in June, the Dallas force has opened up a window of opportunity to make our nation safer. According to Fox news, Chief David Brown stated, “We had an exchange of gunfire with the suspect. We saw no other option but to use our bomb robot and place a device

The Engineer Explosive Ordnance Clearance Agent (EEOCA) was created in 2004 after a technical capabilities gap was identified between Combat Engineers and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Technicians. In order to fill this gap, the EEOCA course was designed to equip more Soldiers in the United States (US) Army with the technical skills to be able to identify ordnance by classification, recognize all hazards and protective measures required, perform safe route clearance operations, and have limited blow in place (BIP) capability with unexploded ordnance (UXO). The skills acquired in the EEOCA course were ultimately intended to facilitate the freedom of maneuver for all US and allied forces.

During the war in Iraq roadside bombs were common, to help the war effort, what is now known as the Persistent Surveillance System, came up with a solution called Project Angel Fire to figure out where these bombs were coming from and how to prevent them. Thirty eight students worked on Project Angel Fire, in this project cameras

Besides developing their nuclear weapons or any other heavy lethal weapons, many states are also developing their high-tech weapons. Thus, so called autonomous weapons, have finally introduced in this modern era. Many people must not familiar with the term ‘autonomous weapons’, many scholars have defined that it is a weapons which are select and engage targets without human intervention. This autonomous weapon is a killer robot in any possible forms, and very ideal for task such as assassinations, destabilizing nations, subduing populations and selectively killing a particular ethnic group. It is locked the target, and attack, no intervention no halt after it is

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is a multifaceted organization, providing expertise to America and our allies in order to reduce the potential threat of weapons of mass destruction. This organization was developed to mitigate the potential threat, providing reach-back capabilities, eliminate, and reduce the usage of any chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high yield explosives. We will discuss the creation of the organization, the Joint Improvised Threat Defeat Organization (JIDO), and the DTRA reach back capabilities.

Kickapoo Robotics team, Michael Becker, Brandon Braun, Seth Armstrong, and Jacob Osborne with teacher Mrs. Lori Martin, traveled to Oconto Fall, WI, for a competition of the minds.

Five years ago, when disaster struck in the Gulf, these robots, lacking high-flow pumps, couldn’t do that. On April 20, 2010, about 50 miles off Louisiana, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig killed 11 workers and triggered the worst oil spill in U.S. history. The blowout preventer, a key safety device that sits atop a well and is designed to seal it in an emergency, failed to activate. For 87 days, until BP’s Macondo well was capped, more than 100 million gallons of oil gushed into the

For example, a wagonlike Lockheed Martin device that can carry more than 1,000 pounds of gear and automatically follow a platoon at up to 17 miles per hour is scheduled to be tested in Afghanistan early next year.

Modern weaponry is now more precise and able to take down target at a longer range with little collateral damage. Unmanned or remotely pilot vehicles are commonly use in battlefield to take down enemy and reconnaissance. Provide live feed video and intel to command post for commander to execute the operation tactics.

Our team had worked on a catapult prototype from October 13 to October 25, 2016, to create a system with a functionally autonomous design. You have requested details on our prototype in order to model your labs for next semester based on the design and experience from our project. This report, which was originally assigned by Walburga Zahn on November 1, 2016, includes the design and building processes of the catapult, and the results of the catapult’s performance in several tests.

This is one of the version of spy robot which we designed in this academic period. Intelligent spy robot project has been designed for the spying purpose .it is radio controlled and can be operated at a radial distance of 50 yards. Many time our army jawan need to venture into the enemy area just to track their activities. Which is often a very risky job, it may cost precious life. Such dangerous job could be done using small spy robot all the developed and advance nations are in the process of making combat robot design, a robot who can fight against enemy. Our robot us just a step towards similar activity.
