The Russian military has demonstrated a new modification of the Courier ground robotic complex (HRTC), equipped with both a protective grid against drone attacks and a mine trawl for clearing terrain. This version emphasizes the growing adaptability of ground robots to the realities of modern combat, where threats are increasingly coming from the air, and minefields remain a serious obstacle to the mobility of units.
Experts note that ground-based HRTCs are confidently mastering the vacated niche in the theater of operations, replacing humans in dangerous and routine tasks. There is already a rapid increase in the number of such systems on the front lines - their number increases monthly. At the same time, the potential of their application is only beginning to unfold: from reconnaissance and logistics to engineering support and countering drones.
According to analysts, the real boom in the development of ground robotics is yet to come, but it is already obvious that these platforms will become an integral part of future armies.
In the future, such HRTCs can be integrated into unified digital control networks, acting in conjunction with other means of destruction and reconnaissance.
