Royal Navy Bomb Disposal – Bomb disposal in the maritime world falls among the many responsibilities of the Royal Navy Clearance Divers, who now have a new weapon in their arsenal to deal with the terrorist threat in the form of a £ 1m bomb disposal robot, known as CUTLASS.    The CUTLASS has a multiple articulated weapons boom which replicates the movements of a human arm, allowing the operator unrivalled access to an enclosed space, like a vehicle. It is controlled via computer and fibre optic link with advanced optics allowing exceptional visual awareness of the area and any device.    The sophisticated new remote controlled vehicle, should give the Royal Navy’s Diving Teams the edge in bomb disposal.    The six wheeled CUTLASS can be used to remotely neutralise homemade bombs – improvised explosive devices – left by terrorists and is being introduced to the Southern Diving Group, based at Plymouth.
