2025: Product Announcement

At the end of October 2025, the Russian company Gumich RTK presented the Impulse-Air Defense robotic air defense complex. This vehicle carries on board special interceptor drones designed to combat low-flying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

The Pulse-Air Defense complex is made on the Pulse-M tracked chassis. This platform is just over two metres long. On a horizontal surface, the device is capable of transporting goods weighing up to 1 ton, and on a trailer it pulls up to 1.5 tons. The tracked chassis is highly reliable and maintainable in the field. The robot can continue to move without several rollers.

The Impulse-Air Defense vehicle received eight interceptors placed in special containers. These anti-aircraft drones without a warhead hit drones with a kinetic strike, that is, a direct hit. Interceptors are equipped with an optoelectronic module with artificial intelligence, which allows you to capture and accompany the target. Such a "shell" weighing 1.35 kg is capable of reaching speeds of up to 200 km/h. It is claimed that interceptors can shoot down devices flying at speeds of up to 60 km/h.

Various combat modules can also be mounted on the Impulse-M platform, including anti-tank with missiles. The robot can be used to deliver anti-tank mines and various cargoes. In addition, the tracked vehicle is suitable for the evacuation of wounded from the battlefield. In the "Impulse-M" complex, various types of communication with the operator are implemented, which provides high immunity to interference in the operating conditions of the enemy electronic warfare systems (electronic warfare). AI elements and a vision system allow the robot to independently return to base in case of loss of communication.^[1]
