The NOVO Rover III is a rugged, portable digital X-ray system designed for EOD, bomb squad, security, tactical, and field inspection applications requiring high-resolution imaging, flexible deployment, and reliable wireless communications. Built around NOVO’s Mesh wireless architecture, the Rover III supports wired, semi-wired, and wireless operation while providing multiple detector, controller, tablet, generator, and accessory options.
The system can be configured with NOVO 12SF, 15WS, or 22WS digital detectors, including the large-format NOVO 22WS detector weighing only 6.1 lbs. (2.8 kg) with battery. A high-brightness NOVO Bright XL 21.5-inch touch display, Falcon III Mesh Controller, Power & Communication Hub III, and rugged Pelican Air transport case form the core of the premium Rover III configuration.
