“Solomandra – Ukrainian response to mine threat (video)
Temerland has tested the Solomandra robotic platform, which is supposed to help with demining.
This was reported by Militarny.
In particular, the platform must neutralize anti-personnel mines. The complex has four wheels and is controlled by an operator who must keep a safe distance. An anti-mine system is mounted on the front to follow the curves of the landscape and activate anti-personnel mines.
“Solomandra is essentially a low-cost robotic platform that will not be a pity to lose. It is to be used as a consumable for clearing the territory of anti-personnel mines.
Temerland, a Ukrainian company, has been developing unmanned robotic systems and platforms and modernizing vehicles into unmanned ground systems for a long time.
The developers say that the Iron Caterpillar is capable of pulling a cart with ammunition, medicine, or a cart with the wounded and of undermining enemy positions.
“‘Iron Caterpillar’ can be a kamikaze and quietly deliver explosives to the enemy’s rear and explode there,” the company said.
According to the developers’ website, Temerland is a project of a Ukrainian company to develop unmanned robotic systems and platforms, and to modernize vehicles into unmanned ground systems.
Among the company’s developments:
- Cobra robot police officer;
- Scorpion robotic platform;
- unmanned robotic platform-carrier Scorpion 2;
- robotic platform LASKA 2.0;
- unmanned platform for logistics TURAN;
- unmanned car SPARTAN;
- unmanned robotic platform GNOM.
About two months ago, Ukrainian manufacturers, who previously introduced the Ratel S and Ratel M ground robots, developed the Ratel Deminer, a demining machine that can remotely disarm anti-personnel mines.
