Defence Systems & Unmanned Ground Vehicle For Protection Of Silo Launchers
Russia has unveiled unique unmanned robotic guardian system for guard the underground silos of the Strategic Missile Forces (SMF). The system was developed to boost the security of stationary military sites and is set to be deployed to guard the underground silos of the Strategic Missile Forces (SMF). “A state-of-the-art robotized guarding system for SMF stationary facilities has passed military tests in the Kozelsk Missile Formation [Kaluga Region, south of Moscow],” the Defense Ministry reported. The remotely-controlled hardware is equipped with electro-optical and radar reconnaissance gadgets. The new system can fire bullets and grenades in both automatic and semi-automatic mode at targets 400 meters away. The military noted that the system did well in defending the silo launch site at the testing range from simulated attacks by “saboteurs”. The robotic system which has been tested and is now ready for action was engineered to make it ready for deployment in less than 30 s
