MaxiMog® Expedition System

Filed under: — Administrator @ 8:33 pm

The base vehicle is a highly modified Mercedes Benz Unimog chassis with a custom body, completely new power plant, computer controlled suspension, and integrated electrical, hydraulics and electronics systems. Many of the onboard navigation, power, lighting, communications, computation and electro-optics systems were developed specifically for this vehicle.

The system can ford five feet of water, climb a 45 degree slope and provide a comfortable living and work environment at -70F to +130F. It is also intended to be a field testbed for new mobile technologies.

The diverse range of accessories include a high performance Motorbike, an electrically powered UAV aircraft which can fly up to 10 miles away from the MaxiMog® while transmitting back it’s position and live video, and an ROV teleoperated undersea vehicle.

The trailer is a fully custom insulated composite structure which can accommodate two interchangeable Swingout® side compartments, rack mount electronics bays, and rear-mounted major accessories. Typically, a bathroom, kitchen, communications/computing rack and motorbike system would be loaded for an extended expedition.
