The Phalanx is often accompanied by the MTT-291 R.O.V.E.R. (Remote Operated Vehicle for Extraction and Recovery). The R.O.V.E.R. can be carried on the Phalanx then offloaded to assist with recovery operations. It can be remotely controlled by a dedicated crew member inside the Phalanx or can actually be manned and operated in a conventional manner. (Note: The R.O.V.E.R. was actually an autonomous gun platform, but I replaced the gun with the crane arm. The 15mm size of the chassis made this a viable option.)
