BAS "Soratnik" tested in close to combat conditions
The Combat Automated System (ALS) "Companion" was tested in conditions close to those at a temperature above 30 degrees Celsius. It is reported by TASS with reference to the press service of the Kalashnikov concern (included in Rostec), which creates these machines.
They clarified that the scientific and technical background that was obtained during the development and creation of the “Companion”, as well as the results of its tests, will form the basis of promising combat robotic complexes.
The Soratnik armored tracked vehicle is intended for reconnaissance and retransmission, patrolling and protection of territories and important objects, demining and barrage. The Companion operates in three control modes, the mass of the complex does not exceed 7 T, it is capable of speeds up to 40 km / h. With remote control and direct visibility, the range of the machine is up to 10 km.
Machine guns of 7,62 mm and 12,7 mm caliber, as well as a grenade launcher of the AG-17A type of 30 mm caliber can be mounted on a caterpillar platform. The combat module is equipped with gyroscopic weapon stabilization and is capable of independently detecting, tracking and destroying targets, determining their type. In addition, it is possible to install eight anti-tank guided missiles of the Kornet-EM type on the Soratnik. The armored vehicle can also work in conjunction with drones.
