Manipulator (M)
Remote arm with tools to support safe access and manipulation of explosive hazards
Hydraulic tool‑change system supporting rapid, remote exchange of front‑end tools for different operational tasks.
Exposing, manipulating and relocating of suspect items from stand-off, reducing operator exposure.
Designed to support stand-off access and manipulation in explosive threat environments, the GCS Manipulator supports EOD, IEDD and clearance-support operations from a safer distance.
Mounted on GCS unmanned platforms and operated remotely, it supports inspection, exposure and controlled handling of suspect items from cover. The Manipulator combines reach, controlled lifting and modular tool use to support tasks such as exposure of suspect buried items, remote manipulation during route and area-clearance support, and selected engineering activities, while reducing operator exposure.

The Manipulator comes in two variants, matched to the size, power and operational role of their host platforms.
M‑100
The M-100 is a compact manipulator arm designed for the GCS-100 platform, supporting EOD, IEDD and route clearance support tasks.
M‑200
The M-200 is a heavy-duty manipulator arm designed for the GCS-200 platform in EOD, IEDD and route clearance configurations.
Built for operational deployment
01
Remote handling support
Supports exposure, manipulation and, where appropriate, relocation of suspect items from stand-off, reducing operator exposure during EOD, Route Clearance and area clearance support tasks.
02
Modular tool interface
Hydraulic tool‑change system supports rapid, remote exchange of front‑end tools, allowing the manipulator to be adapted to different operational tasks without manual intervention in the hazard area.
03
Designed for harsh operational environments
In‑house GCS design focused on durability, maintainability and field reliability across repeated heavy‑duty operations.
04
Integrated camera support
Multiple arm-mounted cameras provide different viewing angles for precise remote operation, supporting detailed inspection and controlled movements.
05
Extended reach & lifting capacity
Provides significant working envelope for tasks such as deep excavation, trenching and handling of heavy objects from cover.
06
Fully remote‑controlled operation
Manipulator functions are operated via the GCS remote-control architecture, supporting separation between operator and hazard.
