Details: Ukraine's Ministry of Defence has codified the system, confirming that the ground robot meets the requirements for procurement by the Ukrainian military.
Quote: "The codification by Ukraine's Ministry of Defence confirms that Rys+ complies with technical and operational standards and opens the way for centralised procurement and scaled-up production."
Details: The Rys+ was developed for long-range logistics and evacuation missions. According to the company, the platform has an operational range of up to 80 km and a mission radius of up to 40 km one way without recharging. Roboneers said the system has a payload capacity of 350 kgs, the highest among the company's products.
The ground robot can evacuate two people simultaneously in a shock-absorbing basket. During logistics missions, it can also automatically release its cargo, reducing risks for personnel.
"Remote headlight control was added at the request of the military. The increased payload capacity and larger cargo bed were introduced at the request of troops using the system on the frontline," the company explained.
The Rys+ also features higher speed and greater ground clearance, while the profile of its power units has been reduced to make the robot less conspicuous.
