CALIBER® T5
CALIBER T5 - Height Comparison

Small and lightweight, the CALIBER® T5 is a compact, two-man portable system that shares the same core design of the MK3 CALIBER.

The T5 is best suited to assist EOD and SWAT teams in inspecting and retrieving of suspicious devices from narrow passages of buses, trains and planes. Its turreted claw/disruptor arm integrates the remote handling capabilities of a robotic claw with the render-safe and breaching capabilities of a disruptor.

To safely inspect overhead compartments, add the optional Arm Extension Kit—and extend the T5’s reach to 105″ (267 cm).
