The State Military-Industrial Committee of Belarus has shown tests of the Volat V1 lightly armored vehicle (LAV) produced by the Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant under remote control. The vehicle successfully executed the operator's commands.
The remotely controlled vehicle based on the MZKT-490100-010 LAV (Volat V1) is a system consisting of the LAV itself, equipped with modified devices and systems, as well as a control panel through which the operator sets the vehicle's movement parameters.
Volat V1 received a Russian YaMZ-5345-10 diesel engine. The power unit is paired with a Belarusian-developed hydromechanical automatic transmission.
The remote control system includes:
- control unit with transceiver
- fuel supply system to the internal combustion engine
- device for selecting the driving mode in the automatic transmission
- device for selecting the mode of impact on the brake system
- device for selecting the angle of rotation of the wheels
Currently, the Volat V1 prototype is undergoing research tests. The developers are testing the software.
