British defense giant BAE Systems has released a report, dedicated ground unmanned and autonomous combat systems. On the document drew attention to military analyst Abraxas Spa in his Twitter account.
Company BAE Systems, which is one of the biggest arms manufacturers in the world, released a report, dedicated ground-based robotic systems. One of the points of the report was devoted to the Russian system "Uran-9", which was put into service in January of this year,.
Compilers of the report criticized the robotic system. According to representatives of BAE Systems, “system has serious flaws. In the Russian unmanned combat system analysis highlights, that it is not able to carry out tasks in the classic types of combat operations”.
The document notes, that combat robot "Uran-9" unreliable, thermal and electro-optical sensors were unable to detect the enemy at a distance of more than 2 km. aiming and weapons systems, they ran, They were useless while driving, since "Uranus-9" absent stabilization, and when they were given the command to open fire, there were significant delays.
What else can be expected from competitors?
Part of the criticism is based on an internal report data
Senior Researcher FGBU Third Central Research Institute of the Russian Defense Ministry Andrei Anisimov made an internal report at a conference at the Naval Academy. Kuznetsova in St. Petersburg (according to the blog bmpd, she went with 3 by 6 April 2018 of the year).
The document stressed the expert, that the system "Uran-9" actually failed the test in Syria.
Modern Russian combat unmanned ground vehicles are not able to carry out tasks in the management of the classic types of combat operations.
– results report specialist words.
One of the main drawbacks of the scientist then called a small radius of action of system (300-500 m). Besides, control of the machine has been repeatedly lost (more than a dozen times on the time, exceeding minute). According to Anisimov, it will take ten to fifteen years, before ground robots, built in the Russian Federation, They are prepared for such complex tasks.
Complex "Uran-9" is intended for conducting remote exploration and providing fire support. The complex consists of two robots - one engaged in the exploration, other - fighting. Besides, The complex "Uran-9", the transport truck and a mobile control room.

Weight robotic fire support system is about 7 tonnes, engine power - 190 Horse power. According to the manufacturer, the system can overcome obstacles up to 1,2 m. As weapons used by automatic 30mm cannon, coupled with a machine gun 7,62 millimeter and 4 anti-tank guided missiles "Attack". The robot can detect targets automatically, but to open fire on them may only team.
Robot scouts and weapons armed with 30-mm 2A72 automatic gun with a coaxial machine gun 7,62 and anti-tank guided missiles Attack. The armament vehicle can vary depending on the customer requirements.
"Uranium-9", equipped with a laser radiation warning system and equipment, for detecting, identification and tracking purposes.
In January, news agency RIA Novosti reported, with reference to the Director General of concern "Kalashnikov" Vladimir Dmitriev, that "Uranium-9", adopted by the.
Now completed production of the first production batch. At all, "Urany" - this is a good technological advance for future products.
- the words quoted by RIA Dmitrieva.
Also, general director of "Kalashnikov" notes, that the results of the participation of the car in a combat operation in Syria into a complex made improvements.
