The new ground-based robotic complex Tengu-5 for firefighting of military and energy facilities was presented at the SECURITY 2.0 exhibition in Kyiv. The work was developed by order of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.
The main purpose of the robot is to extinguish burning energy and military facilities, near which rescuers cannot be located due to danger. For example, chemical enterprises, oil and gas wells, oil pumping stations, ammunition or chemical warehouses.
For remote firefighting, Tengu-5 is equipped with special mounts for the StreamMaster II high performance monitor — a device through which water is thrown onto a burning object. During movement, the robot pulls a hose with water, which is deployed either from a fire engine or other water supply source. In this way, the robot can work a kilometer from the rescuers.
In the company “Tactical Technology”said that currently the prototype of their robot has a Chinese tracked chassis, on which they have installed their own armored platform. It has a STANAG 4569 protection level of the first level, which provides protection of equipment from splinters. At the moment, the company has already developed technical documentation on its own chassis, which will be produced independently after launching the robot in series.
Inside the GRC are located the engine, water supply systems, life support devices, hatches for the maintenance of units and the transportation of rescue equipment.
A complex of cameras with 30x optical zoom and a thermal imager was installed on the case. From the left side of the robot there is a place for evacuation carriers. Optionally, the Morok-5 radio combat system can be installed on the robot.
The robot develops a maximum speed of up to 10 km/h. It is equipped with a diesel 2.2 liter engine. A winch with a pulling force of 2 tons is installed in the front part of the GRC frame.
TENGU-5 is expected to be deployed near important energy facilities or at rescue stations in conjunction with other rescue equipment of the State Emergency Service. At the moment, a series of tests await the robot.
