Robattle
Robattle, stylized RoBattle (a portmanteau of robot and battle), is a modular military robot unmanned ground vehicle developed by Israel Aerospace Industries.
Overview
[edit]It is designed to undertake certain tasks otherwise done by infantry soldiers, such as convoy protection, armed reconnaissance and others.[1] It moves on six wheels, but these can be replaced with tracks. The robot is capable of traversing uneven terrain and going over some obstacles such as low walls.[2] Robattle's modularity allows it to be fitted with robotic arms, radars and weapons, allowing it to engage in combat.[3] As such, sensitive systems in the Robattle are redundant to allow it to operate after taking damage.[4]
The Robattle weighs 7 tons and has the capability of carrying up to 3 tons. It communicates using 4G cellular technology (LTE).[4]
Users
[edit]In 2022, the it was reported that the Spanish military was testing the Robattle, along with other unmanned ground vehicles.[5]
