Quote from Fedorov: "Recently, four more ground robotic systems have been codified. Robots are changing the situation at the front. General Staff of Ukraine reports that robotic units have reduced personnel losses by 30%."
Details: In particular, the codification was passed by:
Tanchyk (Tank) – a platform that can withstand a load of up to 500 kilograms and perform various missions: reconnaissance, sabotage, evacuation, attack and logistics.
Tarhan 2K (Cockroach) – a system that can be easily adapted to various tasks, from logistics to reconnaissance, has a simple design and operates at a distance of up to 20 kilometres. It costs US$3,000 a piece.
Tarhan 200 – similar in characteristics to Tarhan 2K but is designed to carry a heavier load of up to 200 kilograms. It can replace 2 to 8 people in logistics.
Burevii (Storm) – a system instrumental in the delivery of particularly heavy items and the evacuation of soldiers.
Quote from Fedorov: "Each of these developments can save more than one life. The robots evacuate soldiers, deliver provisions, deliver and plant landmines, and replace soldiers [on the battlefield] so that they do not become live targets for enemy drones. This is a war of technology, and the more of it we have at the front, the greater our advantage is."
The Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation reiterated that the state can only purchase and supply codified developments to the frontline, i.e., those that meet NATO standards.
That is why one of the tasks of the Brave1 cluster is to help manufacturers have their developments completed.
Mykhailo Fedorov says Brave1 already has more than 220 developments codified.
