BUREVII unveils software platform for UGV control and mission planning

The BUREVII Design Bureau has developed an integrated software platform designed for unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) control, mission planning, and telemetry analysis. Defender Media has learned that the solution is already undergoing field testing by the military on more than 60 ARDAL unmanned ground vehicles.

The software is installed directly onto operator workstations, including laptops and other tactical control devices. The platform consolidates core functions — such as UGV control, live video feeds from onboard cameras, real-time telemetry analysis, mission planning, and route prediction — into a single, unified environment.

During the mission planning stage, the system factors in topography, soil types, weather conditions, and communication parameters. This allows operators to assess potential risks, evaluate route complexity, and select the optimal deployment method for the robotic platform based on localised conditions before the mission begins.

A dedicated telemetry analysis feature monitors the vehicle’s technical status, identifying the root causes of malfunctions to minimise diagnostic downtime and accelerate its return to service.

According to Viktor Dolhopiatov, Director of the BUREVII Design Bureau, the company envisions the platform as a cornerstone of a unified digital ecosystem for robotic systems. The long-term goal is to seamlessly integrate platform control, mission planning, telemetry analysis, route modelling, health monitoring, and technical support within a single software architecture.
