Venäjällä on aina ollut tapana esitellä erilaisia proto aseteella olevia konsepteja. Niista vain osa päätyy käyttöön ja niistäkin on monen tuotanto määrät jääneet käytännön kannalta merkityksettömäksi.
Ei sillä että tällainen ei olisi jossain tehtävässä käyttökelpoinen ja jopa suorastaan hyödyllinen kapistus.

Väkivaltainen tiedustelu saa kokonaan uuden ulottuvuuden.

Itseasiassa ihmettelen, että tuollaisen kylkiin ei ole kiinnitetty kasaa viuhkamiinoja, niin voi ajaa tuon keskelle väijytystä ja räjäyttää ne miinat.

Itseasiassa kun asiaa miettiin voisi tälläinen olla ideana erittäin hyvä AKE:ssa.
Hiukan yksinkertaistaisi koko konseptia ja pyrkisi käyttämään jo olemassa olevaa teknologiaa, hinta voisi jäädä järkeväksi.

Vientiin.
Tuollaista robottiahan tarvitsee sellaisen maan johto, jonka tarvitsee olla huolissaan yleisestä mielipiteestä miestappioiden suhteen. Kallis rakentaa, ylläpitää ja käyttää. Tarvitsee vaunun päässä saman elektroniikan kuin miehitettykin, mutta lisänä tulee sitten päätekontti omine laitteineen.

Eiköhän tuon kehittelyyn uppoa sitä kallista dollareilla ostettavaa teknologiaa, mikäli siitä halutaan muutakin kuin kallis perseensuristin.
Jotenkin veikkaan rahani yhä sen puolesta, että tuota kehitetään vain antamaan kuva, että Venäjä olisi teknisesti muiden valtioiden tasolla. Netissä oli ainakin artikkeleja Terminaattorista. Jo pari sellaista maailman medioissa julkaistuna riittää oikeuttamaan tuon olemassa olon, vaikka kyljet olisivat pahvia.

In 2016 Rosoboronexport (part of the Rostec State Corporation) will begin to promote the Uran-9 combat multipurpose robotic system in the international market.
The Uran-9 is designed to provide remote reconnaissance and fire support to combined arms, recon and counter-terror units. It consists of two recon and fire support robots, a tractor for their transportation and a mobile control post.
The armament of the recon and fire support robots includes the 30mm 2A72 automatic cannon, a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun and Ataka ATGMs. The armament mix may vary depending on customer requirements.
The robots are fitted with a laser warning system and target detection, identification and tracking equipment.
The Uran-9 will be particularly useful during local military and counter-terror operations, including those in cities. Its use will significantly reduce personnel casualties.
“Russian developers possess all of the required competencies to create modern military robotics that will be in demand on the international market. This is a fast-growing segment of the arms market, so Rosoboronexport will develop and implement a long-term marketing strategy for promoting such pieces of hardware, including as part of integrated security projects,” said Boris Simakin who heads the Analysis and Long-Term Planning Department at Rosoboronexport.
@Mustaruuti , pitäiskö tämä robottiasia siirtää muualle? Epätodennäköinen sotasaalis protona ja käyttötarkoituksensa puolesta, saatikka että käytöön otettaisiin.

Itse pelkään etäohjatuissa sitä että "mitä jos" vastapuolella onkin sen tason nörtti rivissä että se ottaakin kyseisen laitteen omaan hallintaan.
Suomella olisi tällä saralla varmasti mahdollisuuksia esim UV puolella. Meillä on paljon hyviä nörttejä siviilissä.

Ennenkuin kommentoitte että ei se ole mahdollista niin se ei ole mahdollista ennen kuin joku sen tekee
Monia mahdottomia suojauksia purettu/murettu ja löydetty joku takaportti mistä menty sisään.

In 1962, the U.S. Air Force Special Weapons Center demonstrated the capabilities of its 77-metric-ton robot, designed to let engineers interact safely with radioactive materials (if unsafely with women). Called “the Beetle” [PDF], this remote-handling vehicle was designed to work on the engines of nuclear-powered strategic bombers, which themselves never quite materialized [PDF]. The Beetle’s manipulators were reportedly dexterous enough to pick up an egg without instantly scrambling it, although we’re slightly concerned that the Air Force never released the next picture in this series.

What happens when a swarm of slow, low-performance drones attacks a modern warship? With defense systems able to knock down supersonic cruise missiles and fast jets, small drones ought to be a turkey shoot. In fact, the situation plays out very differently.

The U.S. Navy is a leader in the area of swarm warfare, the threat has been analyzed in a number of papers from the Naval Postgraduate School analyze the threat. Some of these are classified, but a 2012 paper by Loc Pham, “UAV Swarm Attack” is open and makes uncomfortable reading.

The paper posits a simple scenario: a Navy destroyer is attacked by five to ten drones simultaneously from all directions in conditions of good visibility. The drones are assumed to be made of off-the-shelf hobbyist components, controlled covertly from a nearby fishing vessel. Some of them are visually guided, others resemble the Israeli “Harpy” loitering drone which has radar guidance.

The defenders look well-prepared. The Aegis air defense system is one of the best in the world, with an integrated suite of sensors and weapons including jammers, decoys, Standard surface-to-air missiles, a five-inch gun and two Phalanx weapon systems, each with a multi-barreled 20mm canon spitting out seventy-five rounds a second. Aegis was assumed to be supplemented with six heavy machine guns on the deck.

The reason for the extra machine guns is that Aegis is not well suited to dealing with the threat. The small drones have a tiny radar signature, and by the time they are spotted they are too close to be engaged by missiles or the five-inch gun. The Aegis jammers are not designed to affect the drones’ control system and cannot affect them. All the work has to be done by the Phalanx and the machine guns at close range. With the drones coming it at 155 mph, the defenders have just fifteen seconds between detection (at less than a mile) and impact. It is vital that defenders pick a different target each, otherwise some drones take fire from several weapons while others slip through unscathed.

The team ran several hundred simulations, and found that on average 2.8 out of eight attackers got through. Even when the defenses were substantially upgraded — better sensors and more machine guns and Phalanx — at least one drone gets through every time. And that’s just with eight drones incoming. With a larger number — ten, twenty, fifty — the defenders would still only get the first seven or so.

This weakness means it makes sense to attack a ship with a large number of cheap drones than one missile costing the same, and that’s exactly what the Navy’s Low-Cost UAV Swarming Technology (LOCUST) program aims to do. The aim is to have thirty drones flying together without having to be individually controlled, maintaining separation safely like a flock of birds. They are different from any other drone in that the operator does not control an individual aircraft, but pilots the whole swarm as a single unit.

In the next decade remote-controlled and robotic platforms will account for about 30 percent of the Russian combat power in addition to dozens of land- and sea-based robotic systems as well as hundreds of UAVs already used by the Russian military.

"Advanced robotic systems of a new generation designed for military application are tested within the framework of development work. A number of them will be delivered to the army in 2016," Col. Gen. Pavel Popov said in an interview with Krasnaya Zvezda (Red Star) newspaper.

Korean Air Lines Co. announced it has signed a 400 billion-won (US$333.5 million) deal with the the Korean military procurement agency to mass-produce reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as part of the government’s plan to build up its aerial mission capability.

Under the contract with the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) signed last year, Korean Air will mass-produce the reconnaissance drones from 2016 to 2020, the company said. The new order followed a successful completion of the test and evaluation program in 2014. The order covers procurements over five years with first deliveries expected in 2018. The company considers central asia and latin america as a potential export market for the new system.

The tactical drone has a length of 3.4 meters and a wingspan of 4.2 meters. It is designed for short, automatic, short takeoff and landing with steep descent, characteristic of operations in mountainous areas, where it can deploy from a 30 meter runways, landing on wheels, skids, or parachute (emergency recovery).

The new drone is capable of operating for 24 hour missions. the main payload is an electro-optical sensor payload enabling observation range of 10 km, equipped with automatic target tracking capability. Other drones already developed by the company since 2007 include the KUS-7 close-range UAV and a small tactical UAV known as KUS-9, designed with blended wing-body configuration. While previous Korean developed drones are increasing the use of domestically produced subsystems, the new drone is based almost entirely on indigenously systems, only 5 percent of its content are imported, the company said.

Late in the summer of 2014, surveillance footage of Syria’s Tabqa air base showed up on YouTube. That it was taken by ISIS forces is unremarkable. That it was shot with a DJI Phantom FC40—a popular consumer drone at the time, the kind you might have found under the Christmas tree—certainly was.

In the intervening year and a half, small quadcopter drones have become even more affordable and more broadly available. That’s enabled them to find all sorts of positive new purposes, from agriculture to inspecting cell towers. That increased accessibility, though, has also inspired a proportionate amount of concern about the misuse of drones. A new report (PDF) from the non-profit group Open Briefing lays bare just how far the threat from hobbyist drones has evolved, and how seriously we should take it.

The Threat Abroad

Let’s start with a healthy dose of perspective. Consumer drones aren’t currently a major part of the ISIS arsenal. There aren’t roaming packs of DJI Phantoms or Parrot Bebops terrorizing the streets of Ramadi. Even that first public incident, the 2014 Tabqa footage, “appeared to be for propaganda purposes only,” according to the Open Briefing report.

That perspective need also include, though, the swift evolution of the uses ISIS forces have found for these quadcopters. “The range of scenarios that threat groups have or are likely to use drone in can be broadly divided into two types of threat: intelligence gathering or attack,” says Chris Abbott, founder and executive director of Open Briefing.

His group’s report details multiple instances of the former. ISIS used a hobbyist UAV in April of last year to help coordinate its attack on Iraq’s Baiji oil refinery complex. The following month, Kurdish forces shot down an ISIS drone that had been monitoring their positions. And these are just the times they’ve been caught.

Reports of weaponized drones are more muddled, though one unconfirmed report claims that Kurdish forces recently shot down a small drone—the kind you can make at home from a mail-order kit— carrying explosives. Most consumer drones can’t currently carry heavy enough payloads to do very significant harm, but that doesn’t mean they’re ineffective.

“It’s a really crude method of packing a drone with explosives, and using it like a flying IED,” says Colin Clarke, associate political scientist at the RAND Corporation. “It’s more of a psychological threat than anything. It’s probably far more effective to lob artillery, or mortars, or RPGs toward the front line. But if all of a sudden you’ve got this drone flying forth, it strikes fear in the heart of the enemy.”

Clarke and Abbott agree that ISIS primarily leans on drones for intelligence gathering at the moment, and even that effort could be charitably described as piecemeal. Both also, though, see the potential for much more harmful pursuits ahead.

“These groups are highly adaptable. They’re able to learn from each other and their own mistakes,” says Clarke. “They’re going to get better at this stuff. They’re going to perfect it.”

However steep that learning curve turns out to be, it likely ends not in Syria or Iraq, but in one of the Western nations ISIS has clear intent to attack.

“The failure of Islamic State to successfully use drones for attack in Iraq and Syria shows that the method of attack has some difficulties,” says Abbott. “However, Iraq and Syria provides the group with the testing ground to perfect the delivery of IEDs by unmanned aerial or ground vehicles. Once perfected, multiple sources have suggested that the group is looking to use drone swarms to overwhelm any defenses and deliver spectacular attacks.”

The idea of a coordinated drone attack rightly sounds terrifying. (These are, after all, terrorists). For that matter, so does a precisely placed lone wolf quadcopter. How likely that type of attack is to take place outside of the Middle East theater, though, remains a question of some debate.

Jos muistatte niin tämä drone oli kehitetty Euroopan "robotti" kilpailuun. Joten on kiva nähdä sen toimivan todellisessa olosuhteessa.

In essence, performing reconnaissance is all about trying to find something that you really don’t want to find. Maybe you’re looking for enemy forces, or maybe you’re trying to locate sources of chemical or biological or radiological contamination. In any case, having a team of humans finding what they’re looking for, while technically a success, is not really something to look forward to. “Oh hey, looks like we found that insanely dangerous thing we’ve been searching for, hooray!”

You know what comes next: let’s get the robots to do this sort of thing instead, right? Last October, Carnegie Mellon University, in partnership with aircraft manufacturer Sikorsky, gave the U.S. Army a demonstration of a fully autonomous Black Hawk helicopter teaming up with a fully autonomous ground vehicle to show how a team like this can search out threats without humans having to even get up off the couch.

For operators, the next big thing in drone technology may be pretty small.

At a recent panel discussion between the chiefs of the four military services’ special operations commands, the Navy and Marine Corps commanders said they had their eye on unmanned aircraft systems with smaller, lighter frames and more compact payloads.

“We’re starting to look a lot closer at UAS payloads,” Maj. Gen. Joseph Osterman, commanding general of Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, said last week at the National Defense Industrial Association special operations forces/low-intensity conflict symposium.

“What I’m really interested in is, how do I operate a smaller and smaller platform with longer duration endurance and higher capability and capacity within the payload,” he said. “I’m very interested in how that payload changes.”

http://defensetech.org/2016/01/26/special-operations-chiefs-want-smaller-drones/

“The next level is going to be smaller and more controllable,” he said. “So now you’re talking smaller … almost hobbyist quadcopter-type platforms that are out there.”

HS: Itärajalla valvoo pian ilma-alus

Perjantai 29.1.2016 klo 07.39


Rajavartiolaitos alkaa valvoa itärajaa uusin keinoin. (OLLI MIETTUNEN/LKA)
Helsingin Sanomien tietojen mukaan alkamassa on puolentoista vuoden kokeilu, jossa ilma-alusta käytetään Rajavartiolaitoksen "lakisääteisissä tehtävissä".

Majuri Jussi Napola Rajavartiolaitokselta sanoo, ettei mitään päätöksiä ole tehty.

Puolustusvoimat on ottamassa käyttöönsä Israelista ostettuja Orbiter-lennokkeja. Orbiter-lennokkien siipien kärkiväli on kolme metriä, ja ne kantavat mukanaan kameroita. Napola ei kerro, käyttääkö Rajavartiosto Orbiteria kokeilussaan.

Rajalle toivoisin isompaa kalustoa kuin orbiteri, ei tarvitse edes olla aseistettu.

Kyseessä on kokeilu jolla tutkitaan lennokkien käyttömahdollisuutta rajavalvonnnassa. UUtisesta ei hirveästi voi mitään päätellä, mutta ilmeisesti kuitenkin kyseessä ei ole mikään merirajan laajamittainen valvonta vaan enemmänkin sen maarajan pienimuotoinen tarkastelu. Siihen saattaa riittää ihan minilennokkikin (helikopteri).

Rajavartiolaitokselle ei todellakaan ole tulossa mitään aseistettuja lennokkeja!

Varma HuHu kertoo, että kotimaista suunnittelua olevien kauko-ohjattavien puukomposiittisten rajahäätäjien (tm) valmistus on jo aloitettu paskakaupunnin näivettyneeltä teknologiateollisuudelta jälkeen jääneissä teollisuustiloissa.

Kokeiluluontoisen tuotannon yhteydessä on kuulemma tarkoitus hioa valmistusteknologiaa ja selvittää myös paljon suuremman, huomattavasti korkeammalla ja pitkiä aikoja vispilöillään viuhtovan valvontalentimen soveltuvuutta rajavalvontatehtävään. Myös vartiotornilaiset ovat kiinnostuneita hankkeesta ja on esitetty kaavailuja, joiden mukaan kaukolaukaistavia räjähdepanoskenttiä raja-alueella ja sen tuntumassa voitaisiin valvoa ja myös ohjata korkeuksien korppikotkasta.
