Fleet of tracked robots expanded with multifunctional ‘Visluk’ ground robotic system

The Ministry of Defence has codified and authorized the Ukrainian-made ‘Visluk’ ground robotic system for operational use within the units of the Defence Forces of Ukraine. It is intended to carry out a broad range of military tasks. This was reported by the MoD’s Main Directorate for Support of the Life Cycle of Weapons and Military Equipment. 

The ‘Visluk’ system was developed by a team of Ukrainian engineers in response to military requests. This compact platform fits easily into a minibus cargo area or onto a flatbed trailer. Equipped with two silent electric motors and metal tracks, it offers high mobility across challenging terrain. The platform traverses confidently through off-road terrain, sand, and swamps. Capable of transporting up to 200 kg, the robot’s electric motors offer sufficient traction for additional roles, such as recovering off-road vehicles from muddy terrain.

The ‘Visluk’ is manufactured in multiple configurations to perform tasks such as logistics, evacuation, mine laying, and deploying engineering obstacle systems. It can also serve as a mobile platform for transporting radio relay towers, weapon stations, or day and night surveillance systems. This ground robotic system features interference-resistant control channels and can optionally be equipped with a fiber-optic control module. The ‘Visluk’ robots can function in all weather conditions, with battery capacity lasting several hours of continuous movement at maximum speed.
