MILEX-2025 – Belarusian Display company presents its mining and combat unmanned ground vehicles
At the MILEX-2025 exhibition, the Belarusian company Display presented three combat unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and one minelaying UGV, with combat mass ranging from 380 to 1,560 kg
The three combat UGVs are designed for reconnaissance and suppression of the enemy from behind cover, from the flanks and rear; targets observation, tracking and neutralization; destruction of lightly armoured vehicles, support weapons and enemy infantry under cover. Their capability to get closer to the targets compared to manned platforms increase their effectiveness and target destruction capacity.
According to the information presented at the static display, the combat Adunok-M250 tracked UGV is powered by two electric motors, can reach a maximum speed of 18 km/h, is capable of continuous operation for up to 5 hours and can effectively operate at a distance of up to 2.5 km. It is 1,640 mm long, 1,000 mm wide and 1,080 mm high. It is fitted with a Display remotely controlled weapon station (RCWS) with 2-axis stabilization, armed with a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun with 300 ready to fire rounds; it can cover all 360°, the elevation arc being -20°/+60°. The RCWS optical suite includes a video camera, a thermal imager, and a laser rangefinder, the system featuring an automatic target tracking capacity. The target detection range of the video camera is 1,000 meters while that of the thermal imager is 500 metres. The combat of the Adunok-M250 UGV is 550 kg, its maximum payload capacity being 250 kg. It UGV can operate in temperatures ranging from -20 to +40 °C.
The Adunok-M200 combat UGV has a tracked chassis with two electric drives, a range of up to 2 km, and a continuous operating time of up to 2.5 hours. The maximum speed is 12 km/h. Its combat mass is 520 kg, and its maximum payload capacity is 200 kg. It carries the same RCWS of the Adunok-M250.
The Adunok-M700 is a 4×4 wheeled combat UGV that can be easily converted into a tracked platform. Much bigger than the former two, it has a gross mass of 1,560 kg, and a 700 kg maximum payload capacity 700 kg. The platform is 1,731 mm long, 1,620 mm wide and 1,600 mm high, and is fitted with a heavier Display RCWS with 2-axis stabilization armed with a 12.7 mm NSVT machine gun with 150 ready to fire rounds; it maintains the 360° capability in azimuth and the same -20°/+60° elevation arc. The optronic unit is capable of automatic target tracking and includes a video camera with wide and narrow field of view, a thermal imager and a laser rangefinder, day and night detection ranges being respectively 2,000 and 1,000 metres. The Adunok-M700 is capable of operating continuously for 2 hours, can reach a 10 km/h maximum speed and is effective at a distance of up to 2 km. It can operate at an ambient temperature between -20 and +40 °C.
Display also presented the Adunok-M120-M remotely controlled mining platform capable to drop on the ground TM-62M tank mines. The tracked platform is powered by two electric motors, can operate continuously for up to 4 hours with a maximum speed of 18 km/h and a range of 2,500 metres. The mining UGV is 2,000 mm long, 1,000 mm wide and 800 mm high. length of the platform is 2000 mm, width 1000 mm, height 800 mm. It has a combat mass of 380 kg, with a maximum payload capacity is 120 kg. Anti-tank mines are hosted in three conveyors, with four mines per conveyor for a total of 12, fitted on top of the vehicle. The speed of the discharge conveyor is 110 mm/s. The platform is equipped with a video camera.
EDR On-Line, the UGVs exhibited in Minsk were designed considering the lessons learned from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, one of them being the intensive use of robotic platforms in ground operations.
