Milanion has an ambition to conquer a substantial share of the Eastern European market.
Interest in the AGEMA UGV has surged since the vehicle was recently showcased at the Arms & Security 21 exhibition in Kyiv. The ultra-versatile AGEMA is a modular, agile, affordable unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) equipped with proven world-class technology and performance. It is designed to support a range of missions in a variety of sectors including defense, civil defense, security, fire and rescue.
The AGEMA can operate in rough, rugged terrain and is mobile enough for both urban and rural environments. It can be rapidly deployed by rotary and
fixed-wing air assets, is amphibious and able to support static ground and
mobile units.
“Ukraine is an important market for Milanion, and having already successfully worked with Ukrainian Armor, we find they have the capabilities, authority and flexibility to create and service any demand for the vehicle while responding quickly to changing market conditions, enabling us to deliver tailored solutions to local preferences,” Bloomberg has quoted Milanion CEO, Davinder Dogra as saying.
“We are already a well-known supplier of weapons and military equipment to Ukraine’s defense forces, and have the capability and resources to get units of the AGEMA UGV into ’active duty’. We find the AGEMA is a robust and versatile vehicle equipped with world-class technology, yet simple to operate, low maintenance and affordable,” said Ukrainian Armor CEO Vladyslav Belbas.
The AGEMA can support a range of mission profiles including, logistic support, fire support, intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), anti-tank support, drone launch and anti-drone systems, medevac, route inspection and clearance, MESH encrypted communication, border protection, critical infrastructure security and protection, fire and rescue.
The UGV comes complete with C2 Pro portable ground control station for both vehicle control and payload control.
Weighing only 602 kg, the AGEMA UGV is powered by a 40hp engine that allows for 622 kg payload capacity while on the ground and 330 kg on water, along with 544 kg towing capacity.
The vehicle can travel at 29 km/h on the ground and 5 km/h while on water.
