Hanwha's two -ton robots will test in the US: will help the military at a speed of 43 km/h (video)

Autonomous platforms can carry up to 550 kg of cargo and overcome 100 km on one battery charge. The South Korean conglomerate Hanwha announced last week that its light combat robotic machine Arion-Smet will undergo field tests at the US Marine Corps Training Center. About it reports Defense Blog.

Hanwha has signed a contract with the US Department of Defense for foreign comparative tests (FCT) is a program that is promoted by the Office for the Valuation of the Best Technologies of Allied Defense Companies around the world and uniting them with the development and purchase of military.

The Ministry of Defense representatives are sent to different countries to evaluate more than 300 foreign technologies, and the US military conducts examination and, in the end, select 10 of them to continue the project. Upon successful completion of the test assessment, the Ministry decides whether the relevant acquisition projects should continue. Arion-Smet is an abbreviation from "autonomous and robotic systems for off-road navigation-transportation of small-scale multi-purpose equipment".

A 2-ton car is a multi-purpose unmanned aerial platform with a wheel formula 6x6, a maximum speed of 43 km/h, a stroke of 100 km and a capacity of 550 kg. The ARION-SMET robotic platform will be conducted in December 2023 near the US Marine Corps in Hawaii, where autonomous machines will carry fuel, food and water, patients and spare parts from the assigned space to a certain distance.

With the tests of FCT Hanwha Aerospace, it plans to get comments on the improvement of platforms to give the US Marine Corps robotic machines for autonomous field maneuvering. Earlier, Arion-Smet was selected for the FCT project by the US Department of Defense in October last year and launched a demonstration of US Armed Forces equipment in Korea at Gamfris camp. For the first time, the FCT has selected a military unmanned South Korean Development.
