The Ukrainian company DG Industry has unveiled an unmanned ground vehicle capable of carrying more than 300 kg of cargo
DG Industry, a Ukrainian company specializing in the development of unmanned systems, has unveiled the “Bronislav,” a multifunctional wheeled ground-based robotic system with independent suspension. The platform is designed for logistics and evacuation missions and is capable of carrying over 300 kg of payload.
According to the developers, the modular design allows the system to be adapted for various missions. The platform weighs 308 kg, has a maximum speed of 14 km/h, and a ground clearance of 340 mm.
“The concept was to create an affordable platform with an independent suspension, kilowatt-class motors, and a design built for intensive use and potential overloads. The stated payload capacity is 300 kg, but we loaded the platform with 500–600 kilograms, and it drove without any problems,” said a company representative.
One of the key features of the “Bronislav” is its independent suspension, which allows it to navigate obstacles more effectively in forested and marshy terrain and reduces jolting during the transport of the wounded.
Each wheel of the vehicle is equipped with a separate electric motor. According to the developers, this design allows the platform to remain mobile even if one wheel is damaged or lost.
“If one wheel is torn off, the platform still moves, remains steerable, and can drive over stumps and trees,” noted a company representative.
Radio communication, LTE, or Starlink can be used to control the system. The power unit consists of four electric motors, each with a power output of 1 kW.
DG Industry also reported that during the development of the “Bronislav,” some of the expensive technical solutions were replaced with more affordable components. As a result, the estimated cost of the system was reduced to approximately 400,000 UAH.
Currently, “Bronislav” has already undergone testing in forested terrain, where it navigated inclines, fallen trees, swampy areas, and other natural obstacles. The system has also been codified and will soon be available on Brave1 Market for e-points.
This was reported by “Oboronka.”
As a reminder, the Ukrainian military unveiled the Pegasus unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) for off-road operations.
In June, units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out more than 16,600 logistics and evacuation missions using ground-based robotic systems (GRS), which is 18.6% higher than the figures for May.
