Small Tactical Robot
SkyHunter
It is a multi-purpose unmanned autonomous robot that performs missions in defense, security, and disaster sites without causing casualties .
Product Overview
Autonomous Systems
Small tactical robot for squad-level personal protection and anti-drone support
SkyHunter is an electric mobile robot integrating optical and thermal imaging cameras, an RF scanner, and an RF jammer. It leverages AI technology to detect and neutralize drones, and provide enemy detection and fire support, enhancing soldier survivability and mission success.
Based on the concept of "one soldier, one robot," SkyHunter was designed with the utmost priority on enhancing soldier combat effectiveness and ensuring survivability, and is a key component of the Manned-Unmanned Combat System (MUM-T).
Development Background and Necessity
- The rapidly changing battlefield environment: The small drone threat identified in the Russia-Ukraine War and the increasing exposure of soldiers in urban and trench warfare environments.
- Small unit protection needed: Individual and squad-level self-defense systems urgently needed against FPV and small drone threats.
- Future combat system: Building a future combat system capable of conducting manned-unmanned combined operations using artificial intelligence and robotics technology.
System Architecture
Core Technologies
High Performance All-terrain Platform
This orbital electric driving platform can overcome obstacles up to 15 cm high and 30-degree inclines. It has a maximum speed of 12 km/h and can operate for over 5 hours.
GPS-independent Autonomous Driving
Based on SLAM technology, it can drive autonomously even in GPS-shadowed areas (indoors, underground, and in mountains). Remote control range is over 50 meters.
Real-time Encrypted Communication
Military tablets and mesh network-based low-latency wireless communication. Real-time situational awareness with video transmission delays of less than 200ms.
Modular Equipment System
A slide-in payload-bay design enabling mission-configurable swaps — 5.56 mm rifle, 40 mm grenade launcher, less-lethal equipment, and etc.
Main Mission
Drone Detection and Neutralization
Detects drones within 1km using RF scanners, jams at a range of 500m, and automatically shoots down drones within 100m.
Enemy Detection and Fire Support
500m range personnel/vehicle identification, automatic target designation, and squad weapon linkage. 90% accuracy on a 45×45cm target at 150m.
360° Surveillance/Reconnaissance
Comprehensive surveillance of bases and mission sites, with real-time video transmission after deployment to hazardous areas. Day and night surveillance possible.
Operational Scenario
01
Early entry into the
danger zone
Before the squad moves, they are armed with wired and wireless controllers.
Minimize troop exposure and risk by deploying SkyHunter first.
02
Target detection during patrol
AI camera automatically recognizes targets and predicts their movement path during movement/bordering.
03
Target tracking/locking
Continuous surveillance and tracking after locking on an identified target
04
Engagement (Authorization-Based Autofire)
After approval from the controller/commander, an automatic fire sequence is executed on the locked target according to the built-in safety logic.
Key Features
- Counter-drone defense capabilities: AI-based automatic detection/identification, jamming, and deactivation capabilities to neutralize drone threats.
- 24-hour battlefield surveillance: Thermal cameras ensure day and night surveillance and guard duty, ensuring soldiers' rest.
- Preemptive reconnaissance of hazardous areas: Search hazardous areas before soldiers do, identifying hazards in advance.
- The concept of one soldier, one robot: Realizing a manned-unmanned combined system (MUM-T) at the small unit level.
- Modular multi-purpose design: Equipment can be replaced depending on the mission, performing various roles such as reconnaissance, firepower, and supply.
