THE ARMORED DEPLOYMENT PLATFORM
One of The Rook’s strategic attachments is the Armored Deployment Platform. The custom built NIJ Level IV platform includes a sloping partial roof cover and a floor-to-roof front shield. The shield features a sliding center door and batwing doors on the outer edges, plus independent power for two
Go Lights.
The ADP provides room for up to four fully-dressed officers and is equipped with two locking gun ports, two 5” x 9”sliding gun ports, four
bullet proof glass sight ports, and video cameras attached to the front of the platform with video feed to the equipment operator.
When the Armored Deployment Platform is mounted on the vehicle, the operator can raise it to 11 feet so that entry can be made on both the first and second floors, and the roof. In a vehicle takedown, the platform can be slanted downward for crowd control and rescues.
The ADP allows a bomb squad to be delivered closer to the proximity of a suspicious device eliminating long walking distances in heavy protective gear. With the attached rear platform lowered, three
additional officers can be carried to the scene more safely than stacking behind a hand-carried ballistic shield. Additional uses include hostage rescue and delivering hostage negotiation phones, food and medicines.
THE HYAUDRLIC BREACHING RAM
The Hydraulic Breaching Ram attachment delivers 6,500 psi of pressure and much more power than a traditional hand-carried ram. This standard attachment can extend out from 6 to 10 feet and give a controlled breach of the structure including block walls, reinforced steel doors, wood and concrete, hurricane windows and windows protected by burglar bars.
The Ram is equipped with four low-light video and one infrared, forward-view cameras recessed into the end – one on each side and one in front-giving the operator a 360° view of the breaching area. The video images are transmitted to the viewing screen inside the cab with the operator. The operator can view single camera feeds full screen or divide the screen into 6 views to see all ram cameras, and all of these can be transmitted to the command center.
THE GRAPPLE CLAW
The Grapple Claw and Bucket is intrusive and can be utilized to gain access to attics where suspects might be trying to hide or seek protection from ground level exposure. With 4,500 lbs. of lifting capacity, use of the grapple claw in removing fortified doors, burglar bars, or exterior shrubbery can simplify access for armed officers.
The grapple claw also aides in disaster relief efforts with the ability to remove debris from streets for emergency responders’ access.
THE VEHICLE EXTRACTION TOOL
The Vehicle Extraction Tool was fabricated for powerful use in the immobilization or removal of a vehicle in tactical applications.
The tool can be used to push or pull a parked vehicle, pick up the car completely and move to a safe location, or positioned to lift rear wheels of an occupied vehicle to render it immobile. Sliding the extraction tool under the side of a vehicle enables lifting to carry the vehicle away.
