Details: DevDroid said the Wolly 7.62 combat module was mounted on a ground robotic system that was transported to the occupied coastline by an uncrewed surface vessel. After landing, the robot carried out its combat mission.

Quote from DevDroid CEO Yurii Poritskyi: "Our mission on the Kinburn Spit demonstrated the potential of multi-domain robotic operations, in which naval and ground unmanned systems work together as part of a single mission. This case could change the very logic of combat operations: one piece of equipment is capable of delivering another into enemy-controlled territory and carrying out missions there without the direct presence of troops."

Details: Poritskyi said this expands the operational reach of ground robotic systems and opens up new possibilities for operations in the most dangerous areas.

The company said the Wolly 7.62 is a remotely operated combat module designed to provide fire support and battlefield surveillance without requiring the operator to be present on the front line. It can be deployed at fixed positions, checkpoints and observation posts, or integrated into ground robotic systems.

Background:

• Earlier, troops from the 123rd Separate Territorial Defence Brigade carried out the first known combat operation in which a ground robotic system was transported to the occupied coast of the Kinburn Spit by an uncrewed surface vessel.
• DevDroid has also unveiled electric trigger systems for combat platforms, enabling the remote operation of machine guns and grenade launchers.
