Page 3: System Overview
(EOD) communities are faced with constantly evolving threats and seek emerging technologies to neutralize, disrupt, or destroy improvised explosive devices. The sUAS Transported Disruptor System consists of a ready-to-fly, heavy-lift Hexacopter and a Carbon Fiber RTS remote disruptor turret. The Hexacopter is equipped with a winch and gripper/release mechanism to deliver the RTS to a remote threat devise. -

AINTENANCE Inspection Inspect all wires, screws and connectors for proper installation, tightness, and wear. not over-tighten screws. Snug plus 1/4 turn is recommended. Inspect Lithium Ion (LiPo) batteries. Dispose of and replace any damaged or swollen batteries. Arm Adjustment The arms should be adjusted to partially fold downward when the release knobs are pushed in toward the center of the aircraft. - Page 23 AINTENANCE Cleaning Use only dry wipes when possible, and if necessary, use wipes dampened with water or non-solvent-based cleaners. Avoid spraying cleaners directly on the aircraft or the controller. Long-Term Storage The drone and controller should be stored in the provided hard case when not in use. The drone’s lithium-ion (LiPo) batteries should be stored inside a LiPo-safe bags or other fireproof container.
