KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 17 (Bernama) -- For the first time, Milrem Robotics, the leading robotics and autonomous systems developer, will exhibit Type-X Robotic Combat Vehicle at IDEX 2021.
According to a statement, the Type-X RCV is designed to support mechanised units and will become an intelligent wingman to main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.
It is capable of taking on the most dangerous tasks and positions, resulting in lower lethality risk.
The robotic combat vehicle can be fitted with a cannon up to 50 mm; hence providing equal or overmatching firepower and tactical usage to a unit equipped with Infantry Fighting vehicles.
“The Type-X provides means to breach enemy defensive positions with minimal risk to own troops. If a RCV is lost, its replacement will become purely a logistical nuance, however, lives will have been saved,” said Milrem Robotics Chief Executive Officer, Kuldar Väärsi.
Milrem Robotics’ RCV will be equipped with intelligent functions such as follow-me, waypoint navigation and obstacle detection.
Artificial Intelligence will also be part of the algorithms. However, the true innovation will be Milrem’s totally new and innovative approach to allow remote controlled operations on higher speeds.
The vehicle’s maximum speed is 80 km/h on paved roads and 50 km/h off-road. Watch the Type-X video at https://youtu.be/jQg4PLCZLdY
