|  | Operator Control Unit (OCU)
- Rugged and portable transit case
- Battery powered, operating time of over 180 minutes
- Daylight viewable color LCD display
- Embedded recharging power supply for OCU & UGV
- Graphical User Interface (GUI) of all UGV and OCU functions
- Keyboard interface to UGV & OCU functions
- Joystick interface for driving and pan-tilt camera control
- Continuous GPS information of UGV and OCU locations
- Customizable map area showing UGV and OCU locations and distances between them
- Multi view display of all UGV camera information
- Screen capture of images, stored and recalled for intel or to send out via email
- Local display of multiple-use RS-232 remote sensor interface information
- Network connectivity to forward system, GIS, video, and alarm data to viewing terminals on the local network or remote locations over the internet
- Portable tripod mounted high gain onmi-directional antenna
| 
| Mullti-UGV Network - One OCU
- Up to 4 UGV's
- Multi-UGV network hopping of sensor and camera data
- Extended range via multi-UGV network legs for non line-of-sight operations
- OCU can view and control each UGV, one at a time
- A remote sensor alarm situation from the ChemPro 100, etc. is displayed immediately, no matter which UGV is selected for operational control
- Cameras from previously selected UGV can be used to aid driver in positioning the currently selected UGV
