Promavtomatyka unveils Bandera Robox UGV featuring self-evacuation mode for casualties

The Ukrainian group of companies Promavtomatyka has unveiled the Bandera Robox unmanned ground vehicle, designed for casualty evacuation and logistics missions.

The platform is built on a tracked chassis and features a modular design, allowing components to be swapped quickly in the field. The Bandera Robox has a ground clearance of 360 mm, a curb weight of approximately 980 kg, and is capable of negotiating inclines of up to 35°. Its maximum speed is rated at 30 km/h.

According to the developers, the robot can carry up to 300 kg of payload and transport two to three personnel. Its operational range reaches up to 70 km during evacuation missions and up to 50 km when transporting loads exceeding 350 kg.

The platform is controlled via redundant communication channels and is also equipped with a backup wired control system onboard. If all wireless links are lost, the platform maintains self-propulsion capabilities. It also features a self-evacuation mode, allowing a casualty to operate the vehicle independently using intuitive joysticks.

Promavtomatyka plans to complete the codification of the Bandera Robox and launch serial production by the end of October. According to company representatives, military units that have conducted field testing are ready to procure the system.

In addition to ground robotics, the company manufactures the Bandera Power lineup of portable power stations, comprising 11 models with power outputs from 500 W to 5.5 kW, as well as battery packs for aerial, maritime, and ground systems. Promavtomatyka is currently introducing high-density energy cells to reduce the overall weight of its energy solutions.
