UGV Cheatah GOSAFER

The High Mobility Base Frame Platform for Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV’s) and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Robots

C h e a t a h For an increasing demand From Februari 2006 a new high mobility multipurpose platform is designed, developed and manufactured by Parosha Innovators BV of The Netherlands, for the worldwide increasing demand of small inconspicuous, remote operated and autonomous ďŹ eld reconnaissance vehicles and robots. From August 2006 the platform has got its enduration trials in which it has driven long distances in the most different parts of the world.

The platform is rugged and mechanically very tough and reliable, and needs a minimum of maintenance. The payload of the VTE-3500 is 90kg.

Every platform is delivered with a handheld wire control set, a handheld RC transmitter, an exhaustive 70 pages English language operator’s manual for user- maintenance- and troubleshooting instructions, spare traction batteries, charger for traction batteries, some special tools, and an exhaustive spare parts kit.
