Rostec has delivered the first serial batch of fire fighting robots
Rostec State Corporation's High-Precision Complexes Holding has shipped the first serial batch of ANT-1000PM robotic fire extinguishing systems. This was reported on the organization's website on October 12.
One of the major Russian fuel companies will receive the equipment. Thanks to the remote control system, the machines allow the calculations to eliminate fires without endangering the lives of specialists.
"Where work involves a direct risk to life, such equipment takes on the most dangerous operations, and specialists manage the process without endangering themselves. It is important that the ANT-1000PM is based on a domestic platform and a domestic management system," said Vasily Shpak, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation.
The robot was developed by Kovrov Electromechanical Plant (KEMZ) and VNII Signal on the basis of the domestic ANT mini-loader. The machine is equipped with a remote-controlled barrel that supplies fire extinguishing agent to a distance of up to 60 m and a height of up to 35 m.
The complex is controlled using the Prometheus hardware and software system. The operator can monitor the robot's operation from a distance of up to 1,000 meters, based on data from external video cameras and sensors.
"Numerous tests have confirmed the high reliability and efficiency of the ANT-1000PM in difficult conditions of man—made disasters," said Vladimir Pimenov, General Director of VNII Signal.
On June 24, it was reported that Rostec for the first time presented new modifications of the Dispatcher ground-based robotic complex, designed, among other things, for civilian use. Among the samples presented are a snow removal robot and a ground drone with a target system, which is used in combat training and competitions in shooting disciplines.
