The NAVSTORS Omnidirectional Guided Vehicle (OGV) is a lightweight, low-profile
robotic vehicle specially designed to transport Navy containers and pallets
aboard ship, and replace many of the forklift trucks, pallet-jacks and other
manually-operated ordnance/material-handling equipment used today in the
movement of such payloads on the upper decks, and into and out of elevators,
magazines and holds. Individual
pallets or containers as well as stacks of payloads�or NAVSTORS �configured
loads��are lowered in place on the OGV and secured for transit by the
Standard Payload Interface�s integral locking features.
OGVs are capable of delivering weapons or stores at a rate that
will support the most aggressive operations. |
