MILREM's new UGCV: What's Estonian for BOLO or Ogre?



The first prototype of a new robot introduced by the Estonian company MILREM made its international debut at DSEI 2015. The multi-purpose Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) functions as a universal platform, designed to support a wide range of military and first-response applications. It has a maximum speed of 65 km/h and a payload capacity of 700 kg. – which, together with its curb weight, brings the fully-loaded robot maximum gross weight to 1.4 – 1.5 tons.

Remotely operated or autonomously controlled, the UGV is powered by electric motors that sustain operations for up to eight hours, using a diesel generator to charge a new-generation ultra-capacitor bank, based on a technology developed by Skele+on – another Estonian company specializing in high-density power sources.
