The Russian ground-based robotic complex "Dovod" has successfully passed combat tests and confirmed its ability to deliver FPV drones to the launch site without human involvement. The development was presented by specialists from the Center for Unmanned Systems and Technologies together with the "Ovodov" team.

The platform is designed for covert delivery of drones to the mission area. After reaching the designated point, the robot can be used as a mobile drone port for launching FPV devices.

According to the developers, "Dovod" is capable of moving independently up to 20 km from the operator, and FPV drones can be launched up to 35 km from the complex's starting point. Thus, the operator and engineering units can be significantly further away from the drone's operating area.

The creators note that the new platform was developed based on the experience of creating the "Courier" tracked robotic complex. A variant with drone ports for FPV strike systems was implemented on its basis.

Currently, "Dovod" is controlled manually by an operator. In the future, developers plan to integrate artificial intelligence elements that will increase the complex's level of autonomy.

In addition to delivering FPV drones, the robot can be used for patrolling territories and organizing hidden drone launch positions.
