He seemed to roll out of the frames of the fantastic film "Short Circuit". Angular, severe, on tracks. New domestic development of a combat robot called "Nerekhta".
In appearance, this stud machine really looks like a small tank. Its mass is 1 ton, length - 2.6 m, width 1.6 m, maximum speed - 32 km / h.
As a weapon, either a 12.7 mm Kord machine gun or a 7.62 mm Kalashnikov tank machine gun can be mounted on it. If desired, you can add an AG-30M grenade launcher to the main gun and equip the vehicle with rockets.
To date, various specialized modules have been prepared and successfully tested at its base: reconnaissance, observational, combat, transport, rescue-medical - in total, 15 varieties have been tested. The complex is controlled remotely by an operator using an ordinary joystick. The eyes of the camera "Nerehty", like a chameleon, can move separately in all directions. This allows you to constantly and better monitor the terrain, as well as easily and quickly detect external damage.
According to experts, the robot has the ability to analyze the combat situation based on the collected and analyzed data. For correct and precise orientation in space, a map of the terrain is loaded into its memory.
Nerekhta is equipped with two interacting engines: diesel and electric. Inside the car body there is a battery that can be recharged from a diesel engine.
In addition, the behavior of "follow me" and "follow the route" behavior is built into the robot. The combat vehicle recognizes targets by predetermined characteristics and has many other advantages over its foreign "associates."
With such a set of "Nerekhta" can be an ideal time, plying on a given route and performing the tasks prescribed in accordance with the developed modules. In other words, he will observe the movement of the enemy, rescue his fighters, well, or just destroy trying to get around his enemy. The main thing is not to forget to add diesel fuel - and then the battery will sit down.
According to the Ministry of Defense of Russia, the combat robot received high marks from the country's military department. True, the timing of the start of deliveries to the troops, as well as the possible number of future vehicles, is not yet known.
