Works in extreme temperatures and creates a "water wall": a robot-journey appeared in the Armed Forces (photo)

The robot is a distance of 400 m to 2 km from the operator. It can overcome the complex terrain and move burning debris. In use, the Armed Forces appeared a robot, it was codied for days in the Ministry of Defense and allowed. This was reported on the website of the defense department. Engineering robotic fire extinguishing complex is a moving tracked platform with special equipment for supplying water under pressure or special foam that extinguishes the flame.

It is managed by the operator at a distance and sends it to the epicenter of the fire. Also, a flow of water is fed to the combustion source. The robot is operating in the open terrain up to 2 km from the operator and up to 400 m in the rough terrain. The operator monitors the work through the camcorder of the objective control, which is installed on the platform.

Initially, the complex was initially developed for the needs of civilian emergency services, however, later the firewriter became interested in the military.

"Such a robot is needed, for example, in an area where there are non -exploding ammunition in approaching a burning equipment and at which there is a risk of detonation of ammunition, as well as in other potentially dangerous cases associated with risk to life and health "This robot-robotic chassis can overcome the complex terrain, move burning fragments, work at extreme temperatures and use its water-to-be so-called" water wall ",-said in the ministry.
