Unmanned Casualty
Recovery Vehicle
Moonbuggy range of UGV's designed and manufactured by Smith
Engineering
The Moonbuggy Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) when
equipped with stretchers can recover two casualties over rough
terrain. The Moonbuggy can also carry radiation detector and other
environmental sensors. The Moonbuggy UGV with its six wheel drive
and high manoeuvrability can be used in areas inaccessible to
standard vehicles.
It can take up to 8 rescuers to recover two casualties over rough
terrain. Using the Moonbuggy UGV the two casualties can be recovered
using only two rescuers offering reduced risk to personnel. It can
also be used to monitor the incident and provide live video feed to
a command post and medical personnel.
