KUALA LUMPUR, March 20 (Bernama) -- Known mostly for its smart
warfare systems, Milrem Robotics is entering the commercial market with its
firefighting and search and rescue unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) being
developed together with rescue services.
Known as Multiscope Rescue, this UGV can be equipped with firefighting equipment such as a water tank and a remote-controlled water cannon, and can reach unreachable areas by human personnel, or places too dangerous for firefighters to go into like tunnels or other structures that may collapse at any time.
"The search and rescue unit can also be equipped with thermal cameras and powerful lights to find missing people in harsh environments or remote forested areas," the company said in a statement.
Multiscope Rescue has been developed using know-how gained from designing and manufacturing Milrem Robotics' well-known, defence-oriented UGV, the THeMIS that has been rigorously tested during several military exercises in different climates.
It has all the high technical capabilities of the THeMIS, such as a payload of 750 kg, a diesel-electric drive and the ability to pass through difficult terrains.
Chief executive officer of Milrem Robotics, Kuldar Vaarsi said innovative technologies have made it possible to not only keep humans away from dangerous places but to relieve them from doing dull and dirty jobs.
Vaarsi also stated that collaboration with Estonian Rescue Board has great significance and value for the company to develop new user-friendly unmanned and autonomous products.
"This kind of modern technology will allow rescuers to do their work more quickly and easily in rescue operations without putting themselves at risk. I can see rescue services of different countries implementing this kind of technology in the future," added head of the Rescue Department of the Estonian Rescue Board, Martin Lambing.
Milrem Robotics is developing its commercial UGV Multiscope also for agriculture and mining.
