Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development awarded a contract to Chameleon AMLS Pty Ltd for the supply and delivery of a hybrid research trailer to support the Buccaneer Archipelago Marine Parks science and monitoring program.

The trailer was intended to provide a mobile platform for carrying out aquatic resource surveys in remote areas of Western Australia, supporting land-based and small-boat operations and transporting fish sampling equipment and camping equipment.

It was specified as a heavy-duty off-road trailer capable of operating on a variety of terrains including dirt roads, corrugated tracks, and beaches, and was to be suitable for deployments typically operating for periods of around a week.
