Ground robotic systems (GRTS) have significantly increased the efficiency of logistics support in the Russian army. According to a serviceman operating such equipment, the time required to deliver cargo along typical routes has been reduced by 80%. At the same time, it has also been possible to noticeably increase the overall volume of cargo transported.
The two most in-demand platforms turned out to be the following. The light transporter Omich GRTS is designed for the rapid delivery of ammunition, food, water, and other supplies weighing up to several hundred kilograms. In addition, the vehicle is being used successfully to evacuate wounded personnel from the battlefield in conditions where the use of conventional wheeled transport is difficult or dangerous.
The heavy robotic tug Chelnok GRTS demonstrates even more impressive capabilities. It is capable of towing artillery systems weighing more than 3.5 tons, including the 122 mm D-30 howitzer. This functionality makes it possible to redeploy guns to new firing positions without involving tractors and crews, which reduces risks and eases the burden on personnel.
