Robotics news

Man has less and less space on the battlefield. On February 11, the TASS news agency reported that the Russian robotic complex "Udar", developed on the basis of the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle, passed joint tests with light robots.

Russia recently published information about the updated robotic platform "Marker". The "Marker" is not a combat robot, but an autonomous unmanned ground vehicle for use on rough terrain. This minitank can be used to support infantry or to launch "kamikaze drones".

The newly created New Horizons Studios division of Hyundai has published a detailed description of the new car, which it plans to work on. It became the ideological successor to the Elevate concept, a vehicle with a combined chassis that can drive and walk. The new product is called TIGER – "Transforming Intelligent Ground Excursion Robot".

Serial production of the underwater unmanned vehicle "Sarma" is planned to begin in 2024, said Alexander Vedrov, Deputy General Director of the concern of East Kazakhstan Region "Almaz-Antey".

Preparations have begun for testing the Poseidon nuclear underwater robots from their first full-time carrier, the Belgorod nuclear submarine. Now the nuclear-powered cruiser is preparing to go to sea for the first time. Previously, a unique strategic underwater drone was tested from the B-90 Sarov diesel submarine. Experts believe that it may take several more years to complete the project of creating a complex with innovative ammunition.

The robotic complex was first presented at the "Innovation Day" of the Ministry of Defense in 2015

The Russian robotic complex "Udar" will be able to move independently on the battlefield, as well as interact with drones. This was reported to TASS by the industrial director of the arms complex of the Rostec State Corporation Bekhan Ozdoev.

The Chelyabinsk company, which produces electric vehicles, has improved the characteristics of its Hunter combat module with a new version of the machine gun. The efficiency of hitting the target has become higher by 20-30 percent. This was stated by the manufacturer of the combat system after the tests ended at the test site in Nizhny Tagil.

American and British engineers have created a nozzle for laser cutters that allows them to create drones — the cutter cuts out the body, and the nozzle moves components onto it, applies contact tracks and sinters them. After that, the drone can take off directly from the cutter and get to work. The paper will be presented at the CHI 2021 conference.

The Russian Armed Forces will rely on the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies in modern weapons. This was announced on Tuesday, speaking at an operational mobilization meeting with the leadership of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, said Defense Minister General of the Army Sergei Shoigu.

According to the head of the Defense Ministry, the potential of non-nuclear deterrence forces, primarily high-precision weapons, is being strengthened

The basis of the non-nuclear deterrence forces will be made up of hypersonic complexes of various bases. This was stated on Tuesday by Russian Defense Minister General of the Army Sergei Shoigu, speaking at the opening of the annual operational mobilization meeting with the leadership of the Armed Forces.

Drones continue to explore the underwater space. On February 7, the press service of the Defense Advanced Projects Agency (DARPA) of the US Department of Defense announced the signing of contracts for the development of underwater unmanned vehicles.

Already developed, adopted or undergoing state tests, in particular, hypersonic systems "Dagger", "Zircon", cruise missiles "Caliber", reported in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

The fact that there are currently no engines for attack drones in Russia is one of the reasons for the country's lack of its own serial attack drones. This is reported by RIA Novosti, referring to an interview with the General Director of the Central Institute of Aviation Engine Building Mikhail Gordin.

This year, an underwater drone and the latest rocket will reach the finish line

In 2021, at least two promising domestic weapons systems will reach the finish line — the beginning of testing.

The American company Metal Shark was commissioned by the US Marine Corps to develop a long-range robot boat LRUSV. According to Jane's, the agreement with the military also provides for the supply of robocat maintenance vessels, which will be created on the meringue of the Project 40 Defiant patrol ships.

Dmitry Litovkin-about new artillery reconnaissance complexes and modern trends in the development of the armed forces

The new 1B75 "Penicillin" intelligence complex has entered service. The system is able to record acoustic and thermal signals from shots and bursts of artillery shells, giving out the exact coordinates of the location of enemy guns. Data about them is plotted on an electronic map, after which our guns deliver an accurate blow to the enemy.

U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) allowed the first fully automated commercial flights of unmanned aerial vehicles, giving a small firm the "green light" to operate unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) without direct control by dispatchers or human operators.

Sergei Sobyanin launched the construction of the Moscow State University's Vorobyovy Gory innovation cluster, the Moscow Mayor's Office reported. Previously, investments in this project were estimated at 20 billion rubles.

A brigade armed with the latest Buk-M3 and Buk-M2 anti-aircraft missile systems will appear in the Southern Military District. It is expected that the unit will become part of one of the combined arms armies. The Buk-M3 air defense system has already received the name "anti-aircraft submachine guns"in the troops. They are able to detect and shoot down targets at a range of up to 70 km and repel massive attacks by cruise missiles. According to experts, the brigade will become a mobile reserve. The connection will protect not only the sky of the south of Russia — if necessary, it can be quickly transferred to the Crimea or to the western direction.

It is conducted by the NGO "Android Technology" - the developer of the robot "Fedora" that flew into space

The NGO " Android Technology "(the developer of the robot "Fedor" that flew into space) has started manufacturing a robot of the project "Teledroid" to perform work in outer space. This was reported to TASS in the press service of the organization.
