Knight - Humanitarian Unexploded Ordnance Disposal

Knight was designed to separate an unexploded ordnance technician from explosive ordnance while being faster and safer than any current solution on the market. Knight utilizes mine detecting rats that are trained to sniff and seek out TNT, a common ingredient in the majority of unexploded ordnance with accuracy that far surpasses metal detectors. Creating a vehicle that operates similar to a excavator, Knight and its technician are capable of handling explosives at a safe distance but also protects the technician in the unlikely event of an explosion with polymer based glass designed to prevent flying shrapnel, a spade designed to break apart instead of shatter and spread metal across a large area, as well as a gyroscopic hinge that maintains the ordnance relative to its original position, potentially eliminating the risk of an explosion. While operating Knight, technicians are able to traverse any terrain previously deemed unsafe to operate. Hexapod legs are capable of movement on 3 axis, meaning hills, brush, logs, rivers or streams, Knight is able to maneuver in all directions safely and controllably.
