PIAP HUNTeR army robot presented with the ZMU-03 RCWS (.50-cal. Machine Gun and a smoke grenade dispenser)
PIAP HUNTeR is a Polish UGV design that may be used for border patrol and surveillance, surveillance of military or urban areas, and also for fire support purposes (working with the infantry), or to protect mechanized elements. The robot features a thermal imaging system, a TV camera, cameras used for movement, and a radio communications suite.
This unmanned, armed ground vehicle is a result of a collaborative effort undertaken by the entities leading in the unmanned systems domain in Poland: Łukasiewicz-PIAP and AREX, a WB Group company.
The WB Group's AREX company is the manufacturer of the turret. Łukasiewicz-PIAP and AREX software developers integrated the RCWS with the robot's control panel. For the first time, the U-GATE system's capability to control the ZMU-03 station was demonstrated. U-GATE is a Personal Command and Observation System (Osobistego Systemu Dowodzenia i Obserwacji) developed by the WB Group. It was proven that the operator, using an AR solution, can carry out surveillance, designate targets, and engage them, using the RCWS.
For more than a week, the tactical capabilities of such a platform were tested, with the prospect of fielding UGVs, within the framework of the Polish General Staff's Future Task Force concept. The soldiers had a chance to get acquainted and assess the possibilities of using a wheeled reconnaissance UGV across a variety of tactical scenarios.
The first FEX organized by the Polish Armed Forces made it possible to present the PIAP HUNTeR system, and the ZMU-03 RCWS in operations reminiscent of actual, realistic scenarios, with an active role also played by other troops and fighting vehicles, such as the Rosomak APC.
