    U.S. military and law enforcement trained in operation of Sea Wasp

    Published on May 13, 2016

    In partnership with the U.S. Combat Terrorism Technical Support Organization (CTTSO), we have provided three U.S. EOD agencies with prototypes of Sea Wasp, our new, ground-breaking remotely operated vehicle (ROV) designed for countering underwater improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

    In January, representatives of those agencies – the U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group 2, the FBI Counter-IED Unit, and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division’s Counter-Terrorist Operations Maritime Response Unit – met with a team of our employees from the United States, Sweden and the UK for four days of Sea Wasp training in Charleston, South Carolina. Developed over 18 months with the U.S. Underwater Hazardous Device Team, the Sea Wasp is designed for operation by a two-man team. It is piloted from the surface using a control console on-board the support vessel, or from a control vehicle ashore using a power-supplying, fibre optic tether. The operator employs Sea Wasp’s powerful thrusters to lock into position on a ship’s hull or harbour wall. With the aid of the five-function manipulator arm, a disruptor can be positioned beside the target, ready for detonation. The vehicle is then piloted back to the surface for recovery, after which the disruptor is fired from the surface and the target neutralised.
