Details: The robots were developed in partnership with AB3.Tech, a military-tech cluster operated by the Third Army Corps.
Viktoriia "Tori" Honcharuk, executive director of AB3.Tech, told Ukrainska Pravda that the ground robots were developed by personnel of the Third Corps, but production was handed over to UkrArmoTech for mass manufacturing.
"Frontline military personnel using this product should be its creators. And the private sector should scale up the development. This is effective," she noted.
The first model presented is the Viper C, equipped with a telescopic mast up to 6.5 m high. It is designed to maintain stable communications on the battlefield without putting the servicemen deploying it at risk.
The second model is the Viper F, a combat robot designed for reconnaissance, surveillance, and remote fire control. It can operate in standby mode for up to 72 hours, has night vision capability, monitors ammunition levels, can automatically track targets, and allows control to be transferred between different operators.
The Viper F is equipped with the UAT-Mouse combat module, fitted with a 5.56mm AR-15 semi-automatic rifle. It is capable of firing 60 rounds per minute and engaging targets at ranges of up to 100 m.
The third model, which was not physically present at the exhibition, is the Viper L, a logistics robot which, despite its relatively compact size, is capable of carrying up to 350 kg of cargo.
All platforms have comparable performance characteristics, with speeds of up to 13 km/h and autonomous operation for 5-8 hours over distances of up to 50 km. Solutions to reduce thermal and acoustic signatures have also been integrated into the systems.
Viktoriia "Tori" Honcharuk said earlier iterations of the ground drones from this range have already been delivered to military units. Some are undergoing field trials and others are already in service.
