  • The robots will be used by the Guardia Civil’s Explosives Deactivation and CBRN Defence Service (SEDEX) during international peace missions.
  • The aunav.NEO is designed and manufactured exclusively in aunav’s facilities in Spain.

The Spanish Guardia Civil has recently incorporated two units of the aunav.NEO explosives deactivation robot, destined for the Explosives Deactivation and CBRN Defence Service (SEDEX). Manufactured at aunav’s facilities in Aragón, Spain, the platforms will be used in international peace missions involving members of the Guardia Civil.

The aunav.NEO is the latest and most advanced development from aunav, a brand specialised in robotic solutions for Defence and Security. It is unique on the market with its variable geometry system, making it possible to increase and decrease the width of the robot during missions to adapt to different operating environments. It is also the lightest and most versatile model in the company’s line-up.

Each of the units supplied to the Guardia Civil includes a UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) platform, an articulated robotic arm, vision and communications modules and the company’s new portable control unit, the aunav.ROCS, which has significantly reduced its weight and dimensions compared to previous devices. The robot is prepared for handling suspicious packages and opening and accessing different types of vehicles.

 ¨We have been working with the TEDAX of the Guardia Civil for two decades, and we are very proud of their continued reliance on our products”, said Pablo Vázquez, general director of aunav, who stressed that “we consider our Security Forces and Corps’ trust in us to be aunav’s most valuable asset”.

Specifically with regards to the aunav.NEO, Pablo Vázquez highlighted “its great versatility and the important technological leap it represents. It’s the result of aunav’s extensive experience in explosive deactivation and robotic engineering, as well as the close work with customers to improve our products”.

The aunav.NEO robot’s first presentation in Europe at MILIPOL and FEINDEF

  • The aunav.NEO, the only explosive ordnance disposal robot with variable geometry, to be exhibited at MILIPOL (Paris) from the 19th to the 22nd of October and at FEINDEF (Madrid) from the 3rd to the 5th of November.
  • The system was first presented at IDEX 2021 (Abu Dhabi), where it generated great interest among visitors.
  • Designed and manufactured by aunav in Binéfar (Spain), the aunav.NEO is a finalist in the MILIPOL Innovation Awards and has been recognised as one of the ‘100 best ideas of 2021’ in Spain by Actualidad Económica.

aunav, an international benchmark in robotic solutions development for Defence and Security, will present the aunav.NEO robot for the first time in Europe within the coming weeks. It will be at two important events in the sector: MILIPOL, which will be held from the19th to the 22nd of October in Paris, and FEINDEF, from the 3rd to the 5th of November in Madrid.

It will be the first opportunity to see live demonstrations of the UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) on this continent. It had made a very impressive first appearance earlier this year at the IDEX show in Abu Dhabi, garnering immense excitement with spectators.

At IDEX, aunav had recreated the interior of an aircraft specifically to showcase the aunav.NEO’s ability to access narrow spaces like the aisle of an aircraft, all thanks to its variable geometry system. This unique technology allows the robot to increase or decrease its width during missions to adapt to any situation. At the French MILIPOL and the Spanish FEINDEF, aunav will once again offer this demonstration to attendees.

Designed and manufactured by aunav at its Binéfar (Spain) facilities the aunav.NEO is a finalist in the MILIPOL Innovation Awards, in the category ‘Drone & anti-drone systems, robotics’, the winners will be announced on the 19th of October. It has also been recognised as one of the ‘100 best ideas of 2021’ in Spain by El Mundo and Actualidad Económica, which underscores the invaluable innovative work aunav invested in developing this product.

aunav’s latest development, the aunav.NEO, offers essential technological innovations that not only makes it the most advanced but also the lightest in the company’s robotic solutions range. It is an exceedingly versatile UGV as it successfully integrates variable geometry with capabilities rarely combined into a single product.

One example is its platform self-stabilisation, allowing the robot to maintain a horizontal position when climbing stairs, ramps or traversing uneven terrain. Another is its Plug & Play system, which automatically detects and configures any accessory in real-time without requiring operator intervention. Its modularity is also worth mentioning, which allows the system to be easily dismantled for ease of transport or allows for modified configurations.

Kingdom of Thailand incorporates seven explosive deactivation aunav.NEXT robots

  • aunav has supplied to an active counter-terrorism unit in Thailand with seven aunav.NEXT robots and seven aunav.VAN command and control vehicles.
  • The robots, designed and manufactured in Spain, will help neutralize threats in the southern provinces of Thailand.

Kingdom of Thailand has incorporated seven units of the aunav.NEXT robot. Developed and manufactured entirely in Spain, its two synchronized arms make it unique on the market.

The customer, an active counter-terrorism unit, was also supplied with seven aunav.VAN command and control vehicles, the rapid intervention and transport unit developed to meet the needs of CBRN and explosive deactivation units.

This operation gives recognition in Thai market, which expands the brand’s presence in Asia. The continent´s security forces in countries such as Vietnam, China, and India already trust aunav robots. aunav has more than 200 units sold in 16 countries worldwide.

This acquisition allows the counter-terrorism unit to neutralize possible threats in various southern provinces of the country. The aunav.NEXT robot combined with the aunav.VAN units enhance the ability of the customer to safely disable improvised explosive devices hidden in motorcycles or other vehicles.

Spanish technology that helps save lives

The aunav.NEXT robot is developed in Spain in collaboration with bomb squad units. It is specifically designed for the deactivation of improvised explosives (IED), ammunition control (EOD), or CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) activities. It is an advanced system that effectively combines strength and dexterity thanks to its two synchronized arms, capable of lifting up to 250 kg.

aunav presents the aunav.NEO; the only explosive disposal robot in the world with variable geometry

Images of new aunav.NEO

aunav, the benchmark in the development of robotic solutions for defence and security, launched its new robot today, the aunav.NEO, which is the only explosive disposal robot in the world equipped with a variable geometry system. This technology allows the robot to adjust its width during a mission to suit any environment at any time and in any situation.

The robot, developed and manufactured at the aunav facilities in Huesca, arose to meet the needs of security and armed forces. It’s a versatile system capable of operating in different scenarios, most notably in areas that are difficult to access.

This makes the aunav.NEO uniquely prepared to neutralize improvised explosives, ammunition or CBRN threats (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) in tight spaces such as plane, bus or subway aisles or underground tunnels and naturally, it does very well on rough terrain open spaces alike.

One robot fits all

Pablo Vázquez, General Director of aunav, has proudly stated, “the engineering involved in this project, is added to 17 years of experience in the field of robotics for explosives deactivation, and gives us the edge and the knowledge to incorporate unique technologies in the sector. We can therefore truly say that because of its versatility, the aunav.NEO fuses several robots into one”.

He further added, “Maintaining the characteristically robust reliability of all our products, the aunav.NEO is also the lightest robot in our catalogue and incorporates state-of-the-art technology”. He also said, “the objective of aunav is to provide security and armed forces with cutting-edge solutions so that they can safely approach high-risk situations with the maximum guarantee of success.”

Leading technology to save lives

One of the aunav.NEO‘s most remarkable innovations is its variable geometry system. The robot utilizes it to quickly and remotely increase or decrease its width, allowing it to operate in different scenarios within the same mission. It is further complemented by the platform’s self-stabilization technology, which always keeps it in a horizontal position in relation to the ground and is unaffected by stairs, ramps or uneven terrain. The aunav.NEO’s capabilities are boosted by an arm attachment that performs threat prevention and neutralization tasks with a superb combination of strength and precision.

Thanks to this fusion of technologies, the aunav.NEO can, for example, climb an airplane’s stairs, adjust its width to manoeuvre through the aisle, open the upper hand luggage compartment and pick up and remove a suspicious object that was lodged inside.

Another important innovation is that it is a demountable, modular robot. The arms, flippers and batteries can easily be detached, allowing the aunav.NEO to be transported in a wide range of vehicles, including the trunk of a car. No more than two people are needed to load and attach the parts easily, making it instantly operable.

Thanks to the use of Plug and Play technology, the aunav.NEO allows easy incorporation and exchange of different accessories (such as cameras) onto different parts of the platform. This versatility, therefore, enables it to be configured according to the needs of each mission.

The aunav.NEO is controlled by the aunav’s exclusive Remote Control Unit (OCU). Noteworthy is the Autonomous navigation systems, for both indoors and outdoors, which generates 3D maps of the environment.
