After the launch of the GCS-100 in December 2016, Global Clearance Solutions (GCS) has launched on February 6, the GCS-200, an unmanned and remote-controlled Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) platform. It is designed for various missions involving the clearance of hazardous items in high-threat scenarios.
The all-rounder of EOD platforms: The GCS-200 focuses on its multi-purpose usability against Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and other forms of explosive threats. It serves its purpose on route, area, landmine and runway clearance operations. The standard three-point hitch guarantees a wide range of attachments, such as: - Tiller (clearance of AP and AT mines) - Flail (clearance of AP and AT mines) - Manipulator arm (clearance of IEDs and heavy ERW) - Dozer blade (earth moving, removal of obstacles) - Fork lift (handling of heavy objects) - Runway flail (destruction, collection and removal of hazardous items, incl. UXO) - Runway clearance system (collection and clearance of cluster munitions and debris) A specifically designed operator cabin is also available that facilitates the safe and effective utilisation of the remote-controlled GCS-200. GCS employs a coherent product strategy for all three systems: field-proven and reliable platforms combined with standard as well as customised attachments. “Today’s conflict theatres pose an unprecedented threat to security forces and civilians. The GCS-200 is to serve as an indispensable tool to accelerate the clearance operations and render the contaminated areas safe again, thus reducing the risk to human life. We have invested a lot of resources to develop the most advanced and innovative range of products for a wide range of EOD appliations,” commented Philipp von Michaelis, CEO of Global Clearance Solutions. Unique benefits: The GCS-200 is equipped with ballistic protection and a V-shaped hull to help dissipate mine blasts. It features a number of innovative and unique advantages, such as: Maximum survivability, Multi-purpose capability, An automatic transmission for operational flexibility, Optimized maintenance and serviceability. |
