Modular front‑end tools for remote EOD and clearance operations

Manipulator tools

Remote manipulation tasks rarely consist of a single action. Exposing, inspecting, accessing or relocating an explosive hazard often requires different tools at different stages of the same operation.

Modular tools for remote operations

GCS Manipulator tools form a modular front‑end tool set designed for use with the GCS Manipulator (M-100 and M-200). Tools can be exchanged remotely via the hydraulic tool‑change interface, allowing operators to adapt the system to the task without entering the hazard area. This supports controlled workflows, reduced exposure and consistent execution during clearance operations.

All tools listed are GCS products designed for use with the M‑100 and/or M‑200 Manipulators. Manipulator tools can be used across EOD, IEDD, Route Clearance, Urban Clearance and Combat Engineering capabilities.
