Abstract: A hitch assembly for a bomb disposal robot has a female hitch receiver and a pinned flange coupled to the female hitch receiver, the pinned flange for removably attaching the hitch assembly to the ringed drawbar of the bomb disposal robot.

Abstract: A forklift assembly is mounted to a robotic bomb disposal vehicle. The forklift assembly includes at least one fork, and may be coupled via a receiver hitch to the vehicle. In one embodiment, the receiver hitch is positioned between articulating arms located on the vehicle, permitting vertical movement of the forks. An explosive countermeasure is positioned on the forks. With the countermeasure so positioned, the vehicle may be caused to travel proximate a vehicle suspected of having an explosive device therein. The countermeasure may then be lowered onto the ground at a desired position proximate the suspect vehicle, and the robotic bomb disposal vehicle withdrawn from the site.

Abstract: A trailer hitch assembly for a bomb disposal robot has a support beam for removably attaching the trailer hitch assembly to the bomb disposal robot. A female trailer hitch connector is coupled to the support beam.
