The Russian military department became interested in the Vortex robotic complex based on BMP-3

Presented at the Army-2016 forum, the reconnaissance-impact ground-based robotic complex "Whirlwind" based on the infantry fighting vehicle BMP-3 interested the Russian military, reports RIA News report of the Chief of the Robotics Test Center of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergey Popov.

According to him, “at present, the Whirlwind is the heaviest (14,7 tons) Russian military robot, with significant firepower and maneuverability.

“At the exhibition, the Ministry of Defense became interested in the machine. After the meeting, we will refine it and again put it on preliminary tests, ”said the colonel.

He noted that the main research center for robotics at the Russian Defense Ministry, the Sevastopol scientific-technical center Impulse-2 and the All-Russian scientific research institute Signal, located in Kovrov, became the initiators of the development of the complex.

“These organizations made the car - fully robotized the platform and the combat module,” added Popov.

“Two months ago we passed the first tests, shot out. That is, the car is completely fresh, "- he concluded.

Help Agency: The “Whirlwind” combat robotic complex is designed to enhance the combat capabilities of military units, reduce casualties among personnel on the contact line, protect important military and government facilities, and perform special tasks. His armament — the 30-2 72-mm automatic cannon, the PKNM 7,62-mm machine gun, the Kornet-M anti-tank missile system — can be used on ground and air targets. The complex consists of the BMP-3 robotic base chassis, the ABM-BSM-30 combat module, four hourly unmanned aerial vehicles, and the mobile robotic platform MRP-100 (300), a communication and control system.

The 30 mm gun is rather weak, it is necessary to 57 mm, and the height should be slightly reduced, otherwise the target will be good.

[cniza]

Probably, over time, all this will be finalized, now more attention is paid to handling and survivability.

[Alex_Rarog]

Yes, what a target she damn drone! you can drive her to hell! curtain and drove her !!! and the model can be fastened and Baikal!

The design of the BMP-3 was based on the data of an armed fighter with ammunition, as well as the crew. So, in view of the complete absence of people, the prospect of reducing the profile is quite at least two ........ the design should include not only unmanned qualities, but security and survivability of the structure

[Alex_Rarog]

if you start to cut the body, then redraw, then calculations and stuff, etc. .... but it's easier to create a new car! and here the control module is stuffed into the finished case from the BMP and that’s it! all free space for payload and ammunition!

... absolutely true ... and the chassis in the series all the more ... well, here's another interesting picture from the Army 2016 ... admire the possibilities ... the lego constructor ...

[parkello]

Well, right. the chassis that is available and in production, and besides, the robot should not be different from other machines. if they immediately identify it visually, they will begin to look for other cars and, first of all, to smash those who control robots. and so they will think. that is the usual BMP-3, until it starts shooting at them from everything that is on board. and about the picture with the modules, I liked it very much, especially the last one from 6-30 and the twin ZU-23 and rockets on each side directly above it. I really liked these two modules.

You pray nonsense, except I can’t find any more pluses for the release of the worked-out model. For the poor, now imagine yourself in the place of the ATGM operator and tell me which goal is preferable to you.
And if the profile is reduced in two ???

[witch]

Banishing liberoids;
and first you get close to her for defeat. she has good protection. plus 4 drones. there’s more probability and thermal imagers. so most likely the height does not play a role in the modern world

[Vladimir 1964]

IN HUMANITY! The military-industrial complex of Russia is resting. There, in this very complex, some "stupid", listen to the "exorcist" and everything will be right. He (the entom "exile") knows better from the sofa. It, this very "exile of liberoids" is smarter and smarter than the entire military-industrial complex. The attitude of this "exile" to the army is clearly not higher than the grain-cutter in the soldiers' mess, but this does not prevent him from "making strategic decisions on the couch", puffed up and issued decisions, and whether it is competent or not, he is not particularly interested. The main thing is to utter another stupidity with a clever look.

The exorcising liberoid was again noted. The same comments are everywhere. "everything is unasfig", "nothing is possible", "I did the best"

[Vladimir 38]

Yes, soon the war will turn into a virtual one, the operators will control the machines in computer games.

[katalonec2014]

Sevastopol residents are connected, I'm glad that they will contribute.
It is also encouraging that the rapid development of robotic systems aimed at preserving the lives of soldiers has begun recently, although the next stage is frightening mental intelligence.

Finally a farm for 2a72!

[mr.redpartizan]

It was high time to install the truss on the barrel of the 2A42 gun, which would significantly increase the accuracy of fire.

[Vladimir 1964]

It was high time to install the truss on the barrel of the 2A42 gun, which would significantly increase the accuracy of fire.

Indeed, what the whole military-industrial complex of Russia was thinking about, they gathered there some stupid ones who do not understand the influence of the "farm" on the accuracy of fire. Long ago Ilya would have been listened to and our "accuracy is the most heap in the world."
Glory to the "sofa decks", the answer "and to all other jackets and in the army who did not serve at all GLORY", not knowing and not understanding the elementary basics of shooting and ballistics, write such comments ...

[ilya_oz]

And for the 2A42, the farm is not needed, this 2A72 all bends without pairing with a 100mm gun, as it should have been according to the project.

[Streich]

This is the thing! The thing is serious, and the air patrol, and the little scout, and the device itself is very serious.

[avg-mgn]

For all the time of discussions rob. complexes for the first time shown really worthy of discussion machine, which can be considered as really used. The rest will be brought to mind.

[Vz.58]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I think that before starting a discussion, we need to decide what "robotic" means. Then, if it is a remotely controlled device, then it is not a "robot". What kind of remote control? By cable or radio? If there is a cable, then at what distance (how long?) If a radio or a laser, it is intercepted and the enemy will be able, sooner or later, to decode and subjugate. The laser reacts very painfully to bad weather conditions, and there are a lot of "bunnies". Then it will be fun.
And if the robot is like in the movie Terminator, then God forbid. But this has to wait 50-80 years. Think for yourself how many problems there will be with a "smart" robot. What algorithm will be used to decide who and when to shoot? Nesetuzhki, Ladies and Gentlemen, fighting robots are extremely dangerous things, even for their masters. And kind of humor. The "smart" robot "thinks" and decides that it is necessary to side with the enemy. They say that they do not repair it with a sledgehammer in the service, and the enemy's grease is more "honey". You can't put patriotism into a robot. There is only math, zeros and ones. In, what if you have to take the language? The programmers will sweat!

[warriordima]

Such a boom began around our robots, that the thought itself comes to mind - this is necessary in the case of radiation and biological threats, the other options are not significant.

[mr.redpartizan]

Should I make a combat robot based on the BMP-3? This would only make sense while maintaining the landing squad. When designing combat robots, it is desirable to use the components of existing combat vehicles, but the layout of the robot should be optimal.

[Evil 55]

I would call it a GROWBOT .. The maximum investment with a minimum return, plus the impossibility of evacuation and restoration in the field .. Is there really nowhere for Russia to LOGICALLY spend money?

[da Vinci]

A robot will never "think" as quickly and adequately as a trained and well-coordinated crew. This is not an airplane with 1-2 missiles flying on the ground, there is shelling on the ground simultaneously from 5-6 directions and you need to figure out: choose a primary target or go for cover. On an open battlefield, a "standard" vehicle is a convenient target. The robot must have a low profile (be inconspicuous), have armor of such a level that when they fire at it, it would have time to react to danger and hit the enemy with the first shot.

[Vz.58]

Sir! Do you have any idea what you write? Read yourself: "The robot must have a low profile (not visible), to have armor of such a level that when they fire at him, he would have time to react to the danger and hit the enemy from the first shot[i] [/ i]. "Hmm! And such will set the tone here? Especially considerations after the first comma in a quote? But, on the other hand, patriot! Go back to sixth grade!"

[rotor]

The complex consists of the BMP-3 basic robotic chassis, the ABM-BSM-30 combat module, four Sentinel unmanned aerial vehicles ...

It would be great if UAVs flew directly from the robotic BMP-3 and it would be their carrier.

[Zomanus]

The combat module is interesting.
Interestingly, it can give target designation for other military vehicles or artels?

[Bayonet]

All the same, I would like to know what is meant by the expression - robotic. And now it has become fashionable to call robots, even an ordinary remotely controlled device. In essence, the robot must act independently according to the established program making decisions based on information coming from sensors.

[sharp-lad]

As I understand it, robotic means performing routine operations and automatically returning in the event of a loss of communication, as well as autonomous execution of the watch function.

[Genry]

Air transportation car - BMW!
There is so much space for weapons ...
A couple of machine guns, plus on the sides.
And what do we have with machine guns for equipment? No 9mm (5-9kJ) for infantry defeat in body armor 5 cells. !!! 12mm is too wasteful.
