The Ukrainian Triton, which can travel both on land and water, has been adapted for evacuating the wounded. It can now be equipped with special stretchers that cushion the impact of off-road terrain, as well as a protective frame against drone drops.
The Ukrainian Triton, which can travel both on land and water, has been adapted for evacuating the wounded. It can now be equipped with special stretchers that cushion the impact of off-road terrain, as well as a protective frame against drone drops.
The developers spoke about this in a report by "Military".
To prevent the injured person from being thrown over every pothole, engineers mounted the stretcher on a metal frame with four spring shock absorbers. They partially absorb shocks and vibrations when moving over uneven terrain. The stretchers themselves have high sides and safety belts.
A protective "brazier" can also be installed on top - a metal frame designed to protect against drops from enemy drones.
The robot has eight wheels and special engines for moving through water. Thanks to this, it can cross rivers and climb steep or swampy banks. And if water starts to get inside the "Triton", sensors will automatically start two pumps that will pump it out.
Also, "Triton", according to the manufacturer, can continue to move even if its 4 wheels are damaged. The developer also claims that these robots are already performing tasks in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He recalled cases of robot explosions on land and water and noted that damaged machines can be repaired.
The Triton can also act as a platform for other robots. It can be equipped with a module from which smaller ground-based systems can be launched. The developers also plan to use the Triton as a carrier for FPV drones that can swim across rivers and launch them from hidden positions.
Earlier, dev.ua wrote that the Ukrainian company "Robotized Complexes" is developing a special medical module CASEEVAK for the NRC "Murakha". Unlike the open stretcher "Triton", it provides for an armored capsule that can protect the wounded from debris. Inside, they also plan to install heating, ventilation and cameras so that the operator can monitor the condition of the soldier.
