Vehicles and Robots

• Rolatubes can be motorised in order to be installed on Vehicles and Unmanned Ground Vehicles

• Provides means of deploying antennas and sensors from a compact unit

• Rolatube In Vehicle Systems will save space and weight


Sensor Tower Systems

• Rolatubes can be combined to form highly capable sensor tower systems deployed from a compact box

• System can be motorised or hand cranked

• System shown below (left hand pictures) for 20 Foot Tower for 200 lb payload


Ground FOB Solar Power Arrays

• Working with our partner company Composite Technology Development (CTD) in

Colarado, USA

• Roll Up Forward Operation Base Solar Power Arrays

• Delivers ~420W in optimum conditions, can be ‘daisy chained with other systems to

boost power output

• Lighter / Man Portable, More Compact and Faster to deploy than legacy systems

• As conduits and deployment systems for cables /

fibre optics

• To deploy tactical cameras and lighting systems

• Rolatubes for maritime SOF boarding poles


Rolatube is often requested to develop bespoke solutions for customers. In order to enable the company to understand such requirements swiftly customers are asked to complete a short and succinct paper focussed on the following Technical and Commercial questions. We encourage maximum use of drawings and diagrams which are very effective in showing concept of use, where the Rolatube will sit within the overall product or system and where forces and so on are applied.

Technical Questions:

1. Concept of Use: What is it and What is it for

2. Concept of Operations /Employment : What does it need to be able to do and how will it be employed. (please maximise technical specifications and

use diagrams where possible)

3. Concept of Operating Environment: What is the environment in which it will be used, are there any special considerations we need to understand

4. Concept of Wider Environment: Any other contextual detail that will be relevant to the selection and deign of the product to meet your

requirements.

Commercial Questions:

1. Launch Date: What is your product launch date

2. Customer Internal Product Acceptance Programme: What are the key milestones / gates and timelines of the product development programme

and what internal approvals are required

3. Funding: Is the programme funded

4. Quantity of Rolatubes Required During the Development Phase: How many rolatubes to expect to procure for your development phase

5. Volumes and Timescales: What quantity of units do you expect to procure during the development phase and then in year following product launch

and what delivery schedule (my time and quantity) will you require

6. Price Points: What price points would you desire rolatube to meet per unit once the system is in production
