THE HOBO R-EVOLVE HEAVY ROBOT HAS ARRIVED AT MAT KOSOVO
An exciting new addition to the MAT Kosovo EOD & ERW Training Establishment Equipment capability has arrived.
Yesterday, the Hobo R-Evolve EOD & IEDD Heavy Robot was delivered to our training centre in Peja, Kosovo, marking an important step in our ongoing investment in advanced EOD & IEDD training capabilities.
The arrival follows the recent deployment of three members of our staff to Tralee, Ireland, where they completed four days of specialist training on the REAMDA EOD & IEDD Robot systems. The team is now fully prepared to put their knowledge into practice as the Hobo R-Evolve becomes part of our training capability, enhancing our already impressive capability.
The Hobo R-Evolve is an advanced, robust and highly capable EOD & IEDD heavy platform, designed to support a wide range of operational applications, including EOD, IEDD and CBRN operations. Its six-degree-of-freedom manipulator arm provides precise movement and a substantial lifting capability, while its advanced communications system enables operation over extended distances, including in challenging environments.
The system can also be configured with additional capabilities, including X-ray systems, the Remote Disruptor Platform (RDP), CBRN sensors and an R-Evolve training simulator, providing further opportunities for realistic and specialised training.
The Hobo R-Evolve will now be used extensively in the support of both EOD, IEDD and other specialised courses further demonstrating PCM and MAT Kosovo’s commitment to our client training and the enhancement of our scheduled and bespoke courses, giving students the opportunity to train with modern robotic technology in a purpose-built EOD and IEDD training environment.
We wish to extend our thanks to the REAMDA team for the training and support throughout this process.
The Hobo R-Evolve goes straight into action from day one, being used to support our IMAS IEDD L3 course and a client bespoke Assault IED course.
The MAT Kosovo EOD & ERW Training Establishment is truly unique in our industry – where the very best training and our continued investment in our capability underlines our ‘Center of Excellence’ credentials!
