According to Hot cars, a Korean company specializing in manufacturing Hanwha Defense military equipment has just completed a robotic military car called “Unmanned surveillance vehicle 6×6 – USV 6×6”. In it, this new vehicle was applied in the military after research and testing has been completed. Discover the Korean army’s first 6×6 unmanned reconnaissance vehicle After the performance of a flying device called Valkyrie Combat Drone, recently, information about the Korean USV 6×6 car was announced. This is a reconnaissance and highly combat robot car that meets the combat requirements set by the Korean military. Accordingly, this vehicle has reached level 6 readiness (TR6) for key capabilities such as autonomous driving, obstacle detection and avoidance as well as target identification and destruction. USV 6×6 and intelligent military equipment and vehicles manufactured by Hanwha Defense Company. This robot car model can be controlled remotely and can also “operate independently” according to a preset command. Thanks to the radar system, sensors, and cameras, it can self-avoid obstacles and follow the programmed route even in the event of loss of communication with the operator. According to Korea IT times, the 1.5-ton vehicle is fully electric with the main task of supporting infantry soldiers in various combat situations such as monitoring, logistics, and evacuation. casualties and combat participation. Model USV 6×6 reconnaissance vehicle will assist infantry soldiers in different combat situations. With the reconnaissance version, this vehicle is also equipped with a series of remote-controlled weapons, also designed and manufactured by Hanwha Defense such as 7.62 mm machine guns, 12.7 mm large machine guns, even including automatic grenade launcher 40 mm. Previously, in 2019, another unmanned vehicle was also developed by Hanwha Defense called the MPUGV 4×4 but with less equipment. Royal Union (According to Carscoops, Hanwha Defense, Korea IT times)

Increase Armata. “With AI, Russia has created the world’s leading heavy and real robotic tanks. Armata can analyze the situation on the battlefield by himself to attack the most valuable target. After analysis, the vehicle has. can be fired automatically without the intervention of the crew or control center. What is special is that despite the integrated automatic operation, all the power and combat capabilities on the original Armata tank remain the same, “said General Manager Sergei Chemezov. According to the Russian general manager, the new Armata with standards on technical characteristics – tactics, loading system, cockpit structure and support equipment for firing control new. Armata will be equipped with a fully automated combat module that allows the turret to be used differently from traditional tanks. Meanwhile, Deputy Director of Tractor Plants Group (the unit assigned to design Armata), Mr. Mikhail Levshunov confirmed, Armata tanks will be equipped with an automated system that can automatically destroy the target. Select and it will shoot itself until the target is destroyed. He said that the remote control module research was conducted in the framework of research and manufacture of new army technical equipment models. Accordingly, the automatic system can destroy targets in the air and on land. Thanks to the heat detector, it can work all night, when it’s rainy and foggy. Especially while Russia is very confident about the combat strength of the Armata tank, the leading American magazine National Interest pointed out the backwardness of the artillery on both these tanks and the artillery of this tank. the tank front armor of modern Western tanks could not be penetrated. According to an analysis by American magazine, the main reason to say the 2А82 cannon of the Т-14 Armata is outdated is that it uses the same 125 mm size as the previous generation tank cannon. According to some sources, the artillery system was originally built to be fitted with modernized Т-90 tanks that were only intended for the Russian army. After that, with the development of the standard heavy chain chassis Armata, it was decided to equip the next generation tank. The barrel 2А82 is treated to increase elasticity and partially chromed, which greatly increases the durability of the cannon. This cannon can fire existing and future ammo types. Future ammo types could destroy not only existing tanks but also their future variants, as well as new tanks in development. Currently, Russia is testing advanced smart artillery shells for the Т-14, so the ability to destroy enemy tanks is even higher. Although the West underestimated, but the tank manufacturer Armata asserted, the barrel energy of the gun 2А82 is 1.17 times higher than that of NATO’s best cannon, the 120 mm L-55 gun. The Russian artillery is superior to all current tank guns 1,2-1,25 times in terms of technical level and penetrating ability.

With modern air defense systems, dealing with such UAVs is both extremely difficult and very expensive. REX-1 electromagnetic gun. (Source: Top War) To deal with small pulse and reconnaissance UAVs, Russia is developing specialized equipment such as the Kalashnikov Military Technical Corporation’s REX-series electric guns or special anti-air missiles being developed by engineers of the Russian Nuclear Center. In 2015, Kalashnikov Military Engineering Corporation acquired a stake in drone maker ZALA Aero to develop unmanned technology and anti-UAV weapons. This group is working to develop electronic warfare systems focusing on fighting against modern UAVs. Among them are two models of non-lethal weapons REX-1 and REX-2 that appeared at military technical exhibitions. REX-1 electromagnetic gun In terms of parameters and weight, the REX-1 electromagnetic gun is compact in size, comparable to modern automatic weapons. According to the manufacturer, the weight of REX-1 reaches 4.5 kg, built-in battery backup, ensures 3 hours operation. The main mission of the REX-1 is to protect critical facilities and enclosed areas from intrusive drone vehicles. This is especially important because modern air defense systems are not always guaranteed to destroy UAVs, and detecting small drones using conventional electronic reconnaissance means is difficult. towel. According to the Kalashnikov Group, REX-1 can interfere with the signals of the US GPS satellite navigation system, the BeiDou of China, the European Galileo or the Russian GLONASS within a radius of 5 km. In addition, at a distance of 1 km, REX-1 can block LTE, 3G, GSM signals, interfering with the running frequencies: 900 Mhz, 2.4 GHz, 5.2-5.8 GHz. Thanks to these capabilities, the REX-1 is able to neutralize enemy drones without causing physical harm. Besides, controlling the REX-1 is quite simple. In addition, the REX-1 is equipped with additional lights, target indicators and various points of view. REX-2 electromagnetic gun In the framework of the Army International Forum 2019, the new version REX-2 launched has been rated by many military experts as the world’s most compact anti-drone gun. The main advantage of the REX-2 is its compact size and light weight. If the original design REX-1 weighed approximately 4.2-4.5 kg, the weight of the non-lethal REX-2 was only about 3 kg and the length should not exceed 500mm. According to the developers, the REX-2 is designed to disable all types of UAVs, including optical devices used on the ground or underwater. The lighter and smaller version of this device effectively overwhelms the signal of the satellite navigation systems within a radius of 2km. The REX-2 works by suppressing radio and satellite navigation signals – technology used in the operation of most modern UAVs. The REX-2 developer wants this new weapon to be able to counter a wide variety of targets since their components are interchangeable, as well as tailored to suit missions. Specifically. Antidrone jet rockets Last March, the sheet Izvestia reported that the experts of the Russian Federal Nuclear Center are developing high-speed anti-drone equipment with jet missiles (antidrone). The antidrone missile consists of the missile hull, a target guidance system and a net-trap container (nets with dumbbells in corners). Missiles carrying “mesh bullets” shoot directly to the enemy’s drones, then open the net, ensuring to capture and disable the UAV. However, experts say, similar UAV trap projects in Russia are not effective enough to intercept high-speed vehicles when performing complex aerial maneuvers. According to the news agency RIA Novosti In order to intercept UAVs with mesh bullets, the antidrone missiles need to be adjusted to launch a network of traps at a predetermined rate. The process above will take steps and be difficult as high-speed targets can quickly get out of range of the device. (According to Top War)

The electric car manufacturer Tesla is threatened with a new debate about safety precautions for its “autopilot” system after a fatal crash in which probably no one was behind the wheel. In Texas, a Tesla with two occupants hit a tree, both of which were killed. The police found one of the men in the passenger seat and one in the back seat. According to preliminary investigations, it is “almost 99.9 percent certain” that nobody was behind the wheel in the accident, a police spokesman told the Wall Street Journal, among others. The car burned out.

Tesla: Hands on the wheel at all times

Tesla itself points out to customers that “autopilot” is just an assistance system and that the person in the driver’s seat must therefore keep their hands on the steering wheel at all times. He should also always be ready to take control. But videos of people leaving the driver’s seat in traffic have been appearing on the Internet for years.

The vehicle involved in the accident burned out almost completely. Image: via REUTERS A few years ago, the car manufacturer tightened the safety measures: the software now detects when the driver is not on the wheel and emits warning tones after a short time. If the warnings are ignored, the system switches off. The US accident investigation authority NTSB criticized the precautions as inadequate and the name “autopilot” as misleading. She is now investigating around two dozen previous accidents with the “autopilot” system switched on.

Unclear whether autopilot was on

Local broadcaster KPRC 2 reported that the Tesla in Texas hit the tree just a few hundred yards from the house the two men were driving from. The police restricted that it had not yet been clarified whether the assistance system was switched on at the time of the accident. But Tesla should have the data to determine that. In previous accidents, the car manufacturer was sometimes able to say how many seconds before the impact the driver last moved the steering wheel. In previous “autopilot” accidents, two cars in the USA crashed under semi-trailers, and several cars hit stationary vehicles or other obstacles. So far, however, no accidents have been reported in which no one sat in the driver’s seat. Tesla and company boss Elon Musk always emphasize that the statistics show that overall significantly fewer accidents occur when the drivers are on the road with the “autopilot” system switched on.
