KUALA LUMPUR, May 29 (Bernama) -- Milrem Robotics and ST Engineering have demonstrated a beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) combat unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) during a live fire exercise held in Tapa, Estonia.
The joint warfare system consists of the THeMIS UGV and the ADDER DM Remote Weapon Station and is intended as a force multiplier for dismounted troops in urban and rural areas.
Milrem Robotics, Defence Programs Department director, Jüri Pajuste said the joint combat UGV was one of the world’s first armoured UGVs, especially well suited for urban conflict areas.
The UGV is also configured for wireless BVLOS control from a distance of 1,000m and 2,500m in urban and rural areas, respectively.
It is a tracked all-terrain system with ground clearance of up to 60cm that can negotiate 60 per cent slopes and pass 61cm-deep water obstacles.
Its top speed is 20km per hour, powered by a diesel-electric drive that depends on the mission which can offer 15 hours of constant operations without refuelling.
The combat UGV can be armoured up to STANAG 4569 level three while keeping all of its dynamic capabilities mentioned above.
