With the development of technology, robots have been applied to various fields. In the military field, the use of special robots is becoming more and more common, and mine-sweeping robots are one of them. For mine-sweeping operations, mine-sweeping robots can be used in land and sea areas. Land-based mine-sweeping robots are used in land battlefields. They can replace engineers to detect and remove landmine obstacles in land battlefields. Clear mine barriers in the sea to avoid unnecessary casualties.
At present, countries have developed different types of mine-sweeping robots in response to demand. Take China, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Russia as examples. Let’s take a look at the “Transformers” in the military field with Xiaobian, which one is more profound!
China: JY905-S
JY905-S was jointly developed by Guizhou Zhanyang Heavy Industry and China Shipbuilding 716. The shape weight of this robot is about 5.8 tons, and the whole car size is 5.5 meters X 2.4 meters X1.815 meters (length X width X height). It is equipped with an engine with a power of about 150 hp. The speed is 5.6 km/h at high speed, 3 km/h at low speed, and 1.3 km/h at the time of minesweeping. JY905-S The front of the body is also equipped with a striking mine-sweeping device that can be lifted and lowered. The speed of mine-sweeping operation can reach 700 rpm, and the efficiency of mine-sweeping can reach 2000 square meters per hour.
At the same time, the JY905-S uses a crawler chassis with better off-road performance, which is more stable. This allows the robot to reduce the damage caused by excessive vibration during the process of traveling. At the same time, based on the advantages of the tracked chassis, the robot can also operate normally on rough roads.
UK: Royal Navy's new automatic mine clearance system
As a UK with a strong royal navy, it spent 13 million pounds and more than 110 million yuan to develop the 'Royal Navy's new automatic mine-clearing system'. This time the arms supplier is a domestic company, located in Dorset, England. Atlas Elektronik. The British Navy has invested heavily in the development of this robot for mine clearance, but it can also deal with digital mines. This digital mine has the function of automatic positioning. It is difficult for traditional minesweepers to detect it, but the mine-sweeping robot can detect its existence. In addition, the robot has the function of avoiding enemy ships and detecting omissions and accidents in navigation positioning.
The United Kingdom has a long-established naval system. This time, it invested heavily in the development of mine-clearing robots, in addition to facilitating military applications and reducing casualties. But some predict that the UK will launch the robot, the bigger purpose is to protect their navigation.
United States: M160
The M160 is a military minesweeping robot produced by DOK-ING in Croatia. It is also known as the "Daojin" MV4. This type of military mine-sweeping robot is generally operated by soldiers through remote control. Because it uses a crawler chassis, it has better off-road maneuverability in the field, and is equipped with a set of strike-type mine-sweeping devices in front of it. It is equipped with a roller with 34 chains installed. When working at the M160, the drum rotates at high speed, and then the above chains are used to clear various mines or unexploded ordnance on its forward path, thus creating a safe passage. In addition, the M160 can also convert the combat minesweeper it is equipped with into a bucket when needed, turning it into a small military unmanned bulldozer. The body of the M160 robot is mainly made of armor, so it has a certain ballistic resistance.
The performance of the M160 robot is superior in its class, which is related to the high-tech level in the United States. At the same time, among the mine-sweeping robots of the same kind, the M160 has a smaller size and performance, but it is really a representative of the “short and fine” of the mine-sweeping robot.
Russia: "Uranus" 6
Russia’s “Uranus” 6 military mine-clearing robot was redesigned by the Russian military according to the main technology of the M160. The robot has a total length of 3 meters and a total weight of about 5 tons (when no mine-sweeping tools are installed), and a modified six. The cylinder water-cooled turbocharged diesel engine has a remote control distance of 1.5 kilometers.
Uranus 6 can work for up to 16 hours and can remove about 2,000 square meters of minefield per hour. After the improvement, the robot is equipped with advanced mine/bomb computer analysis instruments, which can recognize its advancement. Unexploded ordnance on the road. What's more worth mentioning is that the body of the robot is also made of armor, the thickness is about 8-10 mm, and the various equipments on the vehicle are also reinforced and shock-proof, so it can effectively prevent mines or bombs. Fragments or shock waves generated during an explosion cause damage to itself.
It can be said that the mine-sweeping robots of China, Britain, the United States and Russia all have their own merits. It is believed that with the continuous improvement of technology, the practical performance will gradually increase. In the future, mine-sweeping robots will be able to realize more reliable and efficient mine detection, identification and elimination technologies, and open up the application surface to help the military field to improve higher security.
