TR Unmanned Ground Vehicles

[boredaf]

ZMA-X is the second ACV we turned into an UGV, FNSS had a demonstrator a year or two back as well. I hope this is because army is actively asking to see prototypes, ACVs and M113s turned UGVs would be a great option to have in the future.

We've got more details about ZMA-X, it now has a brochure on Aselsan's website

2-wheeled, fully autonomous UGV capable of performing acrobatic somersaults

I like how sleek and simple the design looks.

I hope they will have variants with 40mm for drone defense capability.

A software to follow the unit at marching speed automatic bluetooth/wifi adjacent to control unit which one of the soldiers carry could be used for this part. While it could have a small radar/sensor that rotates to see if any drone approaches.

Is this one new? I haven't seen it before.

Turkish Special Forces personnel have used various types of unmanned systems, including UGVs, during the Anadolu-2025 international special forces exercise.

Me neither, it seems to be for fire support since it has a really small frame but a huge box for ammunition. I think it is narrow so that it can be easily deployed from helicopters and armoured vehicles with the least obstruction to the passengers

And the gatling, this is the first time I've seen a gatling on one of our UGVs. Hell, we barely ever use them on other vehicles either.

So much going on in this. Networked autonomous fires system // AGMOSS

LUMTAS-GM lased to its target by a quadcopter released by a UGV, Pusu autonomously moving to firing position. All controlled by the Kaplan STA. Creates so many possibilities to engage targets from 0-20kms in COIN and peer warfare. Add GM2 and the artillery batteries in the future and that's a continuous arc from 0 to 250kms.

With AGMOSS Full Command Control, Full Coordination

Thanks to the single-center tactical missile management we provided to KMC-U within the scope of AGMOSS, the KARAOK firings carried out from different UAV platforms hit the target with pinpoint accuracy.

We continue to work for integrated control, quick decision-making, and high precision in the operational field.

They turned Pusu unmanned as well? I wasn't expecting that lol

Now, if they could just put Karaok on a drone to be fired my dreams would come true.

SAHA EXPO 2026: Upgrades on HAVELSAN’s BARKAN 3 UGV | TURDEF

HAVELSAN unveiled the BARKAN 3 UGV, which continues the increase in size and capacity through the BARKAN line of UGVs at SAHA EXPO 2026 defence exhibition.

Barkan 3 UGV has more than upscaling, they made some big revisions on the sensor and communication side for operator quaility of life

I think these SARBOT have potential for Urban warfare. They should be able to enter buildings. Especially that one version with an LMG. The LMG seems to be belt-fed, placed on top of an ammunition container. They should also make a shotgun version with the same mechanism and incendiary ammo.

or be able to use new aselsan air deffence system with shotgun and lidar

These things will be most useful in cqb like we have seen in gaza

AGMOSS is such a powerful concept

This is excellent, opens up a lot of new possibilities and honestly could be the start of completely new types of ground vehicles. For example. omagine an unmanned Kirpi, but the entire rear end is converted into a VLS packed with Roketsan Eren that locks onto targets designated by a quadcopter....

Now all it needs is a ground vehicle that can carry a quadcopter (as quadcopter range is limited). In fact, kind of unrelated, but I think the solution to a lot of the threats ground vehicles are facing nowadays could be countered with teaming drones that follow the vehicle, and perhaps latch back onto the vehicle to recharge or swap battery. The next step would be cabled drones that have constant power.

C-UAS variant, basically what i have wanted.

Looks a bit weird with second eo on the magazine and not some 40mm airburst

One area we're really behind in is robotics.. China is a few years away from having robot soldiers, who knows what they have behind closed doors.

All I've seen from us are basic four legged robots carrying small weapons, no where near the fast and agile robots that China is making.

Wheeled/tracked UGVs are one thing, but we need to double down on bipedal robots with advanced stabilisation...

People would've laughed at the idea of robot soldiers 10 years ago, now where not asking if, but when we'll see them in action.

It's a start, I guess.
