Details: According to Mamonov, the main idea behind the project is that demand will grow not only for mid-class ground robotic platforms but also for large systems capable of transporting substantial loads over long distances. The company reached this conclusion based on recommendations from the military prior to development.

Mamonov said the system itself weighs 1,100 kg. The Mamont chassis features a top speed of up to 50 km/h, a payload capacity of up to 700 kg, a range of up to 100 km, ground clearance of 330 mm, light armour and the option to install additional equipment.

He noted that smaller drones carry less and have a shorter range, while longer missions (lasting up to five or six hours) require more personnel to accompany them.

"The idea was based on the assumption that it makes sense to build a large drone capable of transporting significant loads," the Armolab co-owner said.

The platform also has a tipping function: the cargo compartment can be raised, enabling supplies to be quickly offloaded at the destination point.

He also highlighted the platform's protection against drones. The visible metal frame above the hull, seen in photos, was described as preparation for installing a protective mesh.

According to Mamonov, the Mamont concept envisages not only passive but also potentially active protection in the future.

"These are special turrets that will automatically shoot down incoming FPV drones," he said.

Another key use case for the new ground robotic system is the evacuation of wounded personnel.
