Product Description (PD) for Air National Guard Dual Arm Manipulator Robotic Attachment (NGREA) APB # 21-A5-003 Purpose: This requirement was developed by the ANG Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) working group during the 2020 Air Reserve Component Weapons and Tactics Conference, and listed as a critical requirement in the 2020 ANG Weapon System Modernization Book, to address capability shortfalls for current robotic limitations require the EOD Operator to get close to an improvised explosive device (IED) to perform delicate or complicated actions. Current remote platform manipulators are robust, able to make gross movements, and are capable of lifting relatively heavy loads. A dual arm manipulator robotic attachment will allow the robot operator to perform actions that were previously not achievable. Access to such a platform will greatly increase the safety and efficiency of any ANG EOD team during reconnaissance and execution of IED operations.
