The Italian Army tested the Ukrainian Droid TW 7.62 and Droid TW 12.7 combat unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) developed by DevDroid.
The Ukrainian robotic systems operated alongside the Italian ULISSE platform developed by ABET HTS. In one of the scenarios, the UGVs were used to support infantry during an assault on positions, evacuate wounded personnel, and continue the advance.
The troops also practiced coordinating the robotic systems with artillery and coordinating multiple platforms within a single tactical scenario.
DevDroid specialists demonstrated the systems’ control, interface, and methods of use to the Italian military in conditions close to combat.
The tests also included checking the possibility of integrating the Ukrainian UGVs with a NATO situational awareness system. The systems transmitted their own coordinates and video to it, while the platforms were controlled via a tactical network.
“It is important for us that Ukrainian robotic systems can operate together with solutions from European partners. Such tests make it possible to verify the interaction of platforms in joint scenarios and move from technology demonstrations toward practical industrial cooperation,” DevDroid said.
The training took place as part of the partnership between DevDroid and ABET HTS. The companies have already signed a memorandum of cooperation and are preparing documents for the next stage of their collaboration.
