What's next for the Pentagon after the Replicator programme?
Although the Replicator initiative has made several accomplishments, there are still multiple gaps to plug across the US Department of Defense (DoD) and its services.
Uran-9 set for release
Rosoboronexport is set to introduce its new Uran-9 combat multi-purpose robotic system for the counter-terror and military markets in 2016, the company announced on 30 December.
The system is designed to provide fire support and remote reconnaissance to combined arms, recon and counter-terror units. It consists of two recon and fire support robots, a tractor for their transportation and a mobile control post.
The recon and fire support robot armament will be configurable to meet customer requirements; in its baseline configuration it will include the 30mm 2A72 automatic cannon, a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun and Ataka ATGMs.
The robots carry laser warning, target detection, tracking and identification equipment.
Boris Simakin, head of the analysis and long-term planning department, Rosoboronexport, said: ‘Russian developers possess all of the required competencies to create modern military robotics that will be in demand on the international market. This is a fast-growing segment of the arms market, so Rosoboronexport will develop and implement a long-term marketing strategy for promoting such pieces of hardware, including as part of integrated security projects.’
