The russian Research and Production Association Kaysant told local propaganda outlets that it is developing a new version of the Muravey ground robotic platform. The system functions as a mobile carrier and launch platform for unmanned aerial vehicles, primarily FPV drones.
According to the developers, several small batches of these "portable airfields" have been produced in different configurations. The variants differ in engines and control systems. They were delivered to occupation force units to gather operational feedback. Reports suggest that individual units ordered customized versions tailored to specific mission requirements.

After further refinement, the manufacturer plans to begin serial production, likely focusing on one or two configurations that have demonstrated the best performance in combat conditions.
russian forces have been testing such systems based on the Muravey ground robotic platform since at least February last year. At the time, reports claimed that the system was already being used on the battlefield.
The developers also claim to have created a dedicated control station capable of operating multiple drones simultaneously and switching them into a "sleep mode" for transportation.
In practical terms, the Muravey UGV carrier platform is a ground robotic system equipped with drone launchers. A similar concept has already been implemented in Ukraine.
Defense Express previously reported on a launcher for FPV drones mounted on the Ratel H ground robotic platform developed by Ratel Robotics.That system enables operators to transport and launch up to four drones at once, including fiber-optic FPV variants.
