High quality images from our remote camera equipment allow port and border security personnel to examine suspicious cargo, containers and hidden compartments when searching for a variety of contraband.
In addition, our products have been used for clandestine operations, remote surveillance and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) operations. The rugged design and portability of the systems ensures reliable operation when it matters most.

The Micro VGTV, or Variable Geometry Tracked Vehicle, is a unique system for remote inspection or observation applications. As the name implies, the vehicle’s shape can be altered during operation. The tracks, in their lowered configuration, take the shape of a tank. When the geometry is varied to the point where the vehicle is in its raised configuration, the tracks take the shape of a triangle. The Micro VGTV remains fully operational throughout these shape alterations and as a result, can continue to travel and maneuver while its configuration is being changed. This unique feature allows the vehicle to negotiate obstacles and operate in confined spaces and over rough terrain.
The vehicle operates via a small diameter, lightweight, 100ft
tether cable with a 300ft tether available as an option. The complete system is easily transported and managed by a single operator. The vehicle is controlled using a hand-held control unit incorporating a joystick for speed and direction, and separate controls for the raise/lower, camera tilt, light and focus functions. A new operator can learn to operate the vehicle effectively in a matter of minutes. The Micro VGTV can be upgraded to the VGTV Xtreme, with scaled up weight and power to serve a wide variety of applications and negotiate
larger obstacles. Systems can be built to incorporate a variety of sensors or devices required for specific applications. The standard vehicle is available with a color or black and white camera.
The Micro VGTV is a compact, remotely powered and controlled inspection system. It was used in search and recovery work at the World Trade Center collapse in New York City.

Products For Search & Rescue

Portable and rugged, Inuktun's crawlers offer a life-saving solution for emergency response teams. This was proven in New York City in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001 when Inuktun's SAR products assisted in the search and rescue efforts while negotiating confined spaces and rough terrain.
Inuktun's VGTV™ is the robot of choice for the Center for Robot Assisted Search and Rescue (CRASAR) due to its ease of operation and performance in rugged terrain.
