STEED: SUPPORTING RAPID RECOVERY EFFORTS

Disasters can happen at any time, anywhere. In response to a disease pandemic, natural disaster or man-made hazard, our military and first responders need the best gear on hand to complete their tasks safely. ADS works with industry-leading manufacturers focused on developing innovative and solutions-based products to support recovery efforts.

STEED is a lightweight, all-terrain wheeled platform which carries 500 pounds and have a range of 15 to 30 miles on one battery pack. This unit is manually operated by a thumb-controlled throttle at speeds up to 6.5 miles per hour in both forward and reverse. It has a zero degree turn radius, is tactically silent, has zero emissions and is completely submersible.

It is simple, easy to use and provides a significant enhancement for human performance, 1:1 ratio rapid casualty evacuation and sustainment efforts. U.S. Patent 10,654,503.
