Blow (robotic complex)

The robotic Blow complex is created by All-Russian Research Institute Signal (JSC All-Russian Research Institute Signal). It is intended for combat and prospecting units and parts, divisions of technical and logistic support of ground forces and parts of a special purpose. In composition — the mobile robot of fire support based on the BMP-3 chassis, the prospecting unmanned aerial vehicle of helicopter type and a remote operations room on the chassis of the Urals-4320 car.

History

2021: Support of new features: an auto pilot and interaction with drones

In February, 2021 it became known of new opportunities of the robotic Blow complex. It will be able to be at war on an automatic pilot and to interact with drones, the industrial director of a complex of arms of Rostec state corporation Bekhan Ozdoyev reported.

According to him, when developing Blow specialists of Signal approved a possibility of the movement of the robot in a standalone mode. For this purpose the structure of a complex includes a subsystem of planning of the movement based on sensors and measuring instruments.

On the basis of the obtained data the route of the movement of the robot forms, at the same time the land relief is considered, and parameters of a fighting task can be calculated — he explained in a conversation with TASS.

Besides, interaction with unmanned aerial vehicles, including fastened type with power supply from the robot is fulfilled. Such drones can be used for additional exploration and relaying of a radio channel of management, Ozdoyev told.

As emphasized in Rostec, advantage of completely autonomous option is not only that the robot can undertake potentially dangerous tasks. One more good point in such situation – Blow moves in the radio silence mode. The complete autonomy means also operation of a navigation inertial system in lack of contact with satellites. In combat conditions the opponent can muffle a signal of navigators GPS or GLONASS means of radio-electronic fight.^[1]
