In recent years, Russia is actively working on optimization of robotics in the army. The appearance of new structures for the operation and maintenance of robotics is expected in the Land Forces of the Russian Federation. The priority task of such an invention is clearly identified by Dmitry Rogozin as "the withdrawal of our man from the dangerous sector to a safe distance, but in such a way that he could see and hit potential enemy. Our goal is to turn a serviceman into an operator of a robotic system capable of performing any combat missions. "
Soon, the robot Nerekhta arrives at the disposal of the Armed Forces of Russia. One of its main advantages is a wide range of uses: Nerekhta is suitable not only for cargo delivery, but it can also be used in 14 specialties depending on the connected module. For example, it can patrol the terrain, extinguish a fire, conduct reconnaissance, neutralize explosive devices, detect enemy artillery positions or take wounded soldiers out of the battlefield.
"Nerekhta" is a compact armored vehicle with a hybrid power plant, equipped with communication and control devices. The robotic complex is equipped with a caterpillar undercarriage with four support rollers on an individual suspension. The length of the platform is 2.5 m, width - 1.6 m. Height, without special equipment, is 0.9 m. The equipped weight of the machine is about one ton.
The robot body is made with a reduced cross-section, which makes it less noticeable in terms of reconnaissance. In addition, it has protection class 5. The necessary equipment is attached depending on the tasks in the upper part of the body. The video cameras installed along the perimeter of the machine take over the process of tracking and driving. The data about the object is transmitted over the radio channel to the operator who controls the robot. It is possible to remotely control the robot at a distance of up to 5 km, in mountainous and woodland up to 3 km.
The combat module of the machine is equipped with a 7,62 mm PKT machine gun, a large-caliber KORD machine gun or an automatic AG-30M grenade launcher depending on the tasks. It is also possible to equip the Nerekhta with a missile system.
At present, engineers are considering the possibility of joint operation of the complex with an unmanned aerial vehicle. Thus, broad prospects are opening up for Nerekhta: the absence of all kinds of obstacles in the form of weather conditions, as well as the ability to transmit the received information to the Earth in real time.
One of the most important tasks facing the developers of Nerekhta is to make its work the most autonomous, so that the machine wouldn't be completely tied to the operator and could not only independently follow the route commands, but also work in a group of similar machines.
Already now, this robotic complex outstrips existing combat land machines in many respects. Successful tests, which the robot passed at the Alabino training ground in the summer of 2017, indicate that this complex will soon be placed at the disposal of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
