Small All-Terrain Exploratory Vehicle (SATEV)
The SATEV is a small, one-man, two-wheeled vehicle similar to a dirt-bike. It is designed to be used by VR operatives in lieu of a larger, less stealthy vehicle. It has a carrying capacity in excess of 400 pounds (in addition to the rider), and is powered by fuel cells. It isn't particularly fast, but it has proven reliable in rigorous testing.
Specifications:
- Size: 7' long, by 4'3" high at the handlebars, by 24 inches wide (without gear slung on)
- Weight: approximately 400 pounds with rider
- Powerplant: Hydrogen fuel cells
- Weapons fit: none
- Speed: on good roads, approximately 65mph
- Range: approximately 500 miles on good roads
- Cargo space: two rear racks for standard framed rucksacks (either side of rear wheel) Scabbard for rifle, saddle bags, and a toolkit (all the fasteners on the vehicle are even sized (1/2inch,1/4 inch etc.) keeping the tools necessary to remove them to a minimum)
- Sensor suite: modular and upgradable
- Method of locomotion: Standard knobby tires
SATEV Winter Kit
The SATEV winter kit simply and easily replaces the front and rear wheels with a steerable ski and a powered tread unit, respectively. These modifications allow for Satev use in snowbound or extremely sandy terrain.
SATEV-ECM (Enhanced Cargo Module)
The Satev ECM is a wheeled attachment like a sidecar that mounts to a bracket between the wheels of the SATEV. It contains a pickup truck like bed for gear and equipment, and a 15 gallon hydrogen tank. Optional accessories include: a spare 10 gallon fuel tank that mounts to the tie down points on the "bed", a tripod for the MUAWS (optional remote firing equipment for firing the MUAWS on-the-go) and sundry other goodies. (The tie-down points accept 1/2" bolts, making mounting equipment a snap.)
