Israel Aerospace industries (IAI) is introducing the RoBattle – an unmanned, heavy duty, highly maneuverable combat and support robotic system at Eurosatory 2016 (13-17 June in Paris, France). The system is designed to be integrated with tactical forces in mobile, dismounted operations and support a wide range of missions including intelligence, surveillance and armed reconnaissance; convoy protection, decoy, and ambush and attack.
Based on the IAI's technology, RoBattle, the newest member of the family of unmanned ground robotic systems from IAI, is equipped with a modular "robotic kit" comprised of vehicle control, navigation, RT mapping and autonomy, sensors and mission payloads. The system can be operated autonomously in several levels and configured with wheels or tracks, to address the relevant operational needs. Operators can equip RoBattle with different payloads including manipulator arms, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) sensors and radars, and remotely controlled weapons.
"The RoBattle system is based on IAI's experience in development and manufacturing of unmanned systems including unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). With the modular ‘robotic kit’ methodology, designed to meet specific customer requirements, RoBattle is one of the most advanced combat, maneuvering, ground robotics in the market." said Meir Shabtai, IAI's Deputy general manager of ground robotics systems. "The RoBattle will become a significant player in the ground robotics market. It presents advanced technologies and capabilities that can close the operational gaps in the future battlefield challenges."
The growing family of IAI's ground robotics includes:
PANDA – a combat engineering robotic platform for overcoming roadside charges, obstacles and various engineering missions
SAHAR – IED detection and route clearing, multi sensor, counter robotic platform for IEDs located on the ground, hidden or buried
RoboCon – a convoy and logistic support robotic platform with autonomous driving including "follow me" capabilities
GUARDIUM UGV – a cost effective and tailored UGV for security and protection of strategic assets and border patrol.
