Hybrid drone complex for emergency response and demining created at the "Laboratory of the Future"

Russian developers from the company "Laboratory of the Future", which is a participant in the NTI "Aeronet" market, have created a unique hybrid complex of drones and a ground-based tracked robot for eliminating emergency situations and conducting demining operations. This was reported in the NTI press service.

Possible scenarios include medical assistance to victims in emergency situations, demining activities, and delivery of goods to remote locations. For example, we are talking about dilapidated buildings where a drone cannot move, but a ground platform, on the contrary, is able to overcome the ruins and deliver the necessary cargo to the building, such as medicines, food, rescue service tools, and so on.

The "Truck-50" unmanned aerial vehicle can travel at a speed of 40 to 50 kilometers per hour with a maximum load of 50 kilograms. The flight duration with such a load is 20 minutes.

The ground platform, capable of carrying loads three times its own weight, can operate for up to 40 minutes. The weight of the platform is 50 kilograms. The speed of the vehicle depends on the terrain. For example, on a flat road it can reach speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour, and with a load - up to 40 kilometers per hour.

When using the complex with a UAV, the platform reaches the work site with fully charged batteries.

Conversely, the platform can deliver the drone to the desired location, where it can perform its tasks and return to the platform, which will then take it back.

The main advantage of this complex is the ability to install additional batteries on the platform. Thanks to this, the drone can recharge 3–4 times directly during the mission.

Earlier, the Moscow Aviation Institute developed software for unmanned aerial vehicles. This software allows you to accurately configure any drone based on the specific tasks that need to be solved.
