Milrem Robotics and ST Engineering demonstrated a beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) combat UGV armed with a 40mm AGL and a 12.7mm HMG in April during a live fire exercise held in Tapa, Estonia.<\/span><\/p>\n The joint warfare system consists of the THeMIS unmanned ground vehicle and the ADDER DM Remote Weapon Station and is intended as a force multiplier for dismounted troops that can be utilized in both urban and rural areas.<\/span><\/p>\n The combat UGV is a tracked all-terrain system with ground clearance up to 60 cm that can negotiate 60% slopes and pass 61 cm deep water obstacles. Its top speed is 20 km\/h and it\u2019s powered by a diesel-electric drive that, depending on the mission, can offer 15 hours of constant operations without re-fuelling.<\/span><\/p>\n The Combat UGV can be armoured up to STANAG 4569 level 3 while keeping all of its dynamic capabilities mentioned above.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cOur joint combat UGV is one of the first armoured UGVs in the world that\u2019s especially well suited for urban conflict areas,\u201d stated\u00a0<\/span>J\u00fcri Pajuste, Director of the Defence Programs Department in Milrem Robotics<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n The system is equipped with an advanced medium-calibre weapon system armed with a 40mm AGL and a 12.7mm HMG. Both weapons passed live fire tests conducted in April in cooperation with the Estonian Defence Forces.<\/span><\/p>\n The combat UGV is configured for wireless BVLOS control from a distance of 1000 m and 2500 m in urban and rural areas, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n The operator can command the system from an ergonomically-designed mobile or stationary crew station that is matched with a Graphical User Interface for intuitive workflow and task execution. The system significantly decreased the cognitive workload on the operator, reducing operator fatigue and improving combat performance.<\/span><\/p>\n The weaponized system uses an Unmanned Network Control System consisting of a general L-Band datalink and a dedicated Fire Control UHF-Band datalink embedded Fire Control System to ensure a secured firing.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" shaheennews Milrem Robotics and ST Engineering demonstrated a beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) combat UGV armed with a 40mm AGL and a 12.7mm HMG in April during a live fire exercise held in Tapa, Estonia.
