The Russian Nerekhta-2 combat robot’s new capabilities will be showcased at a proving ground in late 2016, Deputy Director General for Advanced Research Fund told Sputnik.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Nerekhta-2 will be equipped with a new type of ammunition and will be capable of tackling enemies larger and stronger than itself, according to Igor Denisov.
“We have chosen the Nerekhta platform as the most suitable for making a number of changes, this is a ‘lab’ for testing the most promising solutions for ground robots supporting combat operations, including in the city. I think we will show the Nerekhta’s new capabilities at a proving ground at the end of the year. It will have an air component, there will be additional automation elements,” Denisov said.
