(pressebox) (Düsseldorf, 19.02.2017) In military and law enforcement operations alike, robotics plays an increasingly important role. At IDEX 2017 Rheinmetall is presenting its Multi-Mission Unmanned Ground Vehicle System for the first time ever – a wheeled solution designed for maximum versatility.

Unmanned systems can operate autonomously, semi-autonomously or in remote control mode. They relieve the pressure on human beings, and are particularly useful in hazardous, high-risk situations. Moreover, when fitted with different equipment kits and subsystems, they can perform in a wide variety of different roles. Examples here include tactical surveillance, CBRN detection, transport operations, casualty evacuation and deployment as a mobile radio relay stations or effector platform.

The Rheinmetall approach to a Multi-Mission Unmanned Ground Vehicle System envisages the use of three basic components: a tried-and-tested robotic multipurpose vehicle platform, into which a subsystem or system of subsystems is integrated in accordance with user requirements, and finally a command centre, where operations can be planned, controlled, analysed and evaluated.

As an example of its approach to system design, at IDEX 2017 Rheinmetall is presenting a Multi-Mission UGV platform, teamed with the Sensor Command and Control Planning Suite (SC2PS), the Düsseldorf-based Group’s operationally proven command support tool.

We look forward to welcoming you to our stand 09-A10!
