Patrick Hilty, an EOD project officer for Marine Corps Systems Command said in the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The maneuverability of the device allows Marines to get a bit creative and use the vehicle as a scout near potentially hostile shores or harbors to assess damage to a Navy vessel or even look for lost items, the release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis robot gives Marines eyes in the water,\u201d Hilty said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is a capability the Marine Corps has never before had,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to freeing Marine divers from risky missions in shallow waters, the device is capable of diving deeper than any manned missions currently can, Master Sgt. Matthew Jackson, with 1st EOD Company\u2019s Littoral Explosive Ordnance Neutralization section said in the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The device is particularly easy to learn how to operate as well, Jackson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cInstead of sending a Marine to a course for seven or eight weeks, it takes about four days to learn basic operations for successful employment,\u201d the Marine said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new robot is the first in a series of explosive ordnance disposal vehicles scheduled to be fielded \u201cgradually over the next several years,\u201d that will allow the Corps to \u201csearch a wider area in the littorals, including the very shallow water, surf and beach
