Abstract
A remote controlled decontamination apparatus for removing, collecting and remotely disposing of contaminated material, including a complete system that provides a self-propelled vehicle having separate drives for left and right track assemblies as well as tool handling support arms, which are easily and quickly detachable from the vehicle thus permitting the association of a wide variety of tooling such as spray and vacuum nozzles and or mechanical brushes. A hose and cable umbilical for the apparatus is provided with universally movable carriage devices to reduce hose and cable drag, roll over and maneuverable resistance. A remote controlled camera and lighting system is mounted on the vehicle for visualization of operation.
