Material Composition | Fire suppression, harsh environments | Aluminum chassis (6061-T6 alloy, 5mm thickness) (ASTM B221 compliance) | Lightweight (30% lighter than steel) ▲, corrosion-resistant (ASTM B117 1,000hr salt spray) | Lower load-bearing capacity vs steel (Base) ▲ → Advanced adds carbon fiber reinforcement |
Mobility System | Rough terrain navigation | Tracked system with 400mm ground clearance (MIL-STD-810G ruggedness) | Traction on slopes >45°, stable on debris ▲, mud/snow mobility (ISO 14347) | Higher maintenance cost for tracks vs wheels, slower max speed (Base: 5km/h → Advanced: 8km/h ▲) |
Sensor Suite | Fire detection, situational awareness | Thermal imaging (30m detection range) + LIDAR (Base: 15m → Advanced: 30m ▲) | Real-time heat source tracking, obstacle avoidance (IP68 waterproofing) | Advanced suite adds $2k cost, requires training for thermal data interpretation |
Payload Capacity | Firehose deployment, tool transport | 200kg standard load (Base) ▲ → 300kg (Advanced, ISO 14596 verified) | Supports 50mm firehose + 2x 4kg CO₂ extinguishers ▲, modular payload racks | Limited battery life under max load (Base: 4hrs → Advanced: 6hrs ▲ via LiPo upgrade) |
Noise Level | Indoor firefighting, hospital operations | 72 dBA (Base) ▲ → 68 dBA (Advanced with acoustic dampening) (ISO 3095) | Quieter than chainsaws (90 dBA), reduces panic in occupied buildings | Noise reduction adds 10% weight penalty to Advanced model |
Customization | Multi-role deployment | Modular sensor mounts + 6 payload attachment points (ANSI B73.1 compliance) | Swap thermal camera for gas detectors ▲, add robotic arms (Advanced only ▲) | Requires downtime for configuration changes, non-standard parts may void warranty |
