London, UK (SPX) Apr 13, 2010
Northrop Grumman has launched the latest enhanced version of its industry-leading Wheelbarrow unmanned ground vehicle for the remote handling and surveillance of hazardous threats. The Wheelbarrow Mk9 vehicle, designed, developed and manufactured by Northrop Grumman in the UK, includes significant advances in technology and performance and a range of new features that will improve its capabilities for both civil security and defence applications.

The Wheelbarrow Mk9 will be on display in Northrop Grumman's exhibit at Counter Terror Expo, the international exhibition and conference dedicated to addressing the continuing worldwide threat from terrorism. Counter Terror Expo takes place at the National Hall, Olympia, London from 14-15 April.

"We are continually developing and expanding our products and their capabilities to meet the evolving needs of our military and civil security customers in detecting and disposing of improvised explosive devices and handling hazardous threats," said Kevin Rooney, managing director Unmanned Ground Vehicles for Northrop Grumman's Information Systems sector in Europe.

"This latest design of our well proven Wheelbarrow vehicle combines greater speed, mobility, exceptional payload and reach capabilities with the latest control, communications and camera specifications to offer unsurpassed performance."

Key features of the Wheelbarrow Mk9 include: digital communications for improved quality and greater security; enhanced user-friendly command console with touch-screen facility and joystick control; wireless hand controller for local remote control and; greater functionality including preset positions.

The vehicle also has a dedicated separate data channel for additional sensor integration. Its performance characteristics rank it among the most capable vehicles available in its class: it can climb a 45-degree stairway; has a modular telescopic arm with 7-degrees of freedom and a maximum reach of more than 6m; a maximum speed of 5km/hour; and a lift capacity of 150kg.

Wheelbarrow is one of the most capable and reliable unmanned ground vehicles in its class available today and has a proven record of success. It is recognised as the benchmark vehicle for remote disposal of improvised explosive devices and is product of choice for users around the world.

Wheelbarrow was first used by British Army bomb disposal teams in the 1970s and since then it has gone through a number of design upgrades to extend capabilities and meet changing needs.

Northrop Grumman is the sole supplier to the UK MoD for this size of vehicle and is a partner to Police and military user organisations world-wide. The company has more than 2,000 unmanned ground vehicles in operation around the world.

Northrop Grumman's unmanned ground vehicle business has been established in Coventry for more than 20-years. Today the company designs, develops and manufactures some of the most capable and reliable unmanned ground vehicles available, from the Wheelbarrow bomb disposal robot to CUTLASS, the latest vehicle for hazardous operations in development for the MoD.

Its wide range of vehicles can be configured according to the operational requirements of the user including explosive ordnance disposal, ground surveillance, hazardous material and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) missions.

The vehicles are capable of full integration with command control system applications.

Northrop Grumman in the UK operates from a number of locations providing avionics, communications, electronic warfare systems, marine navigation systems, robotics, C4ISR solutions and mission planning, airport security, aircraft whole life support, IT systems and software development.

Key Data

In April 2010, Northrop Grumman unveiled the Wheelbarrow Mk9, a new version of its Wheelbarrow unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). The enhanced UGV is designed for surveillance and the remote handling of hazardous threats.

The Mk9's enhancements have increased its speed, mobility, payload handling capacity and reach capabilities. It is also installed with the latest camera specifications and advanced control and communication systems to help it detect and dispose improvised explosive devices and combat threats. The new features are expected to increase its capabilities in defence and civilian security applications.

Northrop Grumman, through its subsidiary Remotec, is the sole supplier of the Wheelbarrow to the UK Ministry of Defence.

Wheelbarrow MK9 development

The Wheelbarrow was developed in the 1970s as part of the UK Government's intent to deploy remote control vehicles in the battlefield. It has been used by bomb disposal squads in Northern Ireland and Iraq. The UGV's development involved a consortium of companies, including Alvis Logistics, the predecessor of Remotec UK.
"The Mk9's enhancements have increased its speed, mobility and payload handling capacity."

In 1992, a joint venture of Alvis and Racal Electronics was awarded a contract for designing and producing a fleet of Wheelbarrow Mk8s for deployment in the MoD's Mid-life Improvement Programme. In 1993, Alvis acquired the Wheelbarrow business of Morfax, the only manufacturer of the UGV.

In May 2000, Northrop Grumman acquired Alvis and formed Remotec UK. The company became part of Northrop Grumman Mission Systems in January 2008. The Wheelbarrow has undergone several modifications including the Wheelbarrow Mk8 Plus II and Wheelbarrow Revolution.

In October 2009, Northrop Grumman upgraded its Remotec Coventry facility in the UK to design, develop, manufacture and provide technical support to UGVs such as the Wheelbarrow and Cutlass. About 2,000 UGVs are operational in explosive ordnance disposal units in 52 countries across the world.

Mk9 design and features

The Mk9 can remotely detonate IED and undertake several hazardous operations such as ground surveillance and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear missions.

The uncluttered superstructure of the UGV has a wash-down capability with an improvised under-vehicle reach. The Mk9 has a modular telescopic arm with a maximum reach of about 6m. It can cross any terrain and climb stairways of 45° to reconnoitre suspect devices. The maximum speed of the Mk9 is 5km/hr. It has a unique design with a low profile three-fingered gripper. It can lift a payload of 150kg.

Other features of the Mk9 include its stance change facility, rocker bogie system to overcome obstacles and turret rotation up to +/- 215°. The EOD equipment has seven firing releases and an emergency arm self-righting feature. The vehicle has built-in diagnostics and a revised cable management system. The UGV also features an integral ceramic cutter and a two-speed gearbox.

Wheelbarrow MK9 communications
"The Mk9 provides real-time graphical vehicle representation."

The Mk9 is installed with a minimum of six cameras and provides real-time graphical vehicle representation. It also features advanced communication systems such as a digital radio for an extended operating range, real-time sensor feedback, enhanced picture quality and digital video and data recording. It has a fibre optic auto-rewind system and a two-way audio system, GPS and continuous rotate search pan, tilt and zoom camera. It can operate for up to four hours.

The vehicle has an enhanced user-friendly touchscreen portable command console with options for wireless local control, through hand controller or a joystick controller. It has a separate data channel for additional sensor integration and enhanced functionality, including preset positions.
