2024: Product Announcement
On November 5, 2024, information appeared that the Russian Design and Production Company "New Frontier" developed a ground-based robotic complex "Veles," which is used in the zone of a special military operation. The peculiarity of the machine lies in the high carrying capacity, reaching 400 kg.
The Veles robot is based on a tracked platform, which ensures high cross-country ability. You can use the complex in difficult conditions - for example, on rough terrain. For remote control, a special joystick and an FPV helmet are used, which forms a first-person view. In other words, the operation of the device is monitored in the same way as in the case of unmanned aerial vehicles. This approach is said to provide high maneuverability and responsiveness on the battlefield.
"Veles," depending on the configuration, can be used for a variety of tasks. In the presence of weapons, it can be used to destroy enemy manpower, destroy various structures and fortifications, as well as destroy firing positions and strongholds. The heavy lifting capacity allows the evacuation of wounded soldiers from the battlefield. In addition, the machine is capable of transporting fuel, ammunition, medicines, food, etc.
The new robot will be used in real combat conditions. Reportedly, if necessary, the Veles can perform the functions of a ground-based kamikaze drone.[1]
