In an unprecedented move in the unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) arena, Hyundai Rotem has introduced the HR-Sherpa, a versatile autonomous vehicle, at ADEX 2023. Known for its formidable ground weapon systems like the K2 tanks, Hyundai Rotem is no stranger to innovative military technology. But with the HR-Sherpa, they’ve gone a step further, presenting an electric platform designed for a range of missions, from surveillance to logistical support.

While the implications of robotic military vehicles on human society are yet to be fully realised, the technology is here and probably have been for longer than we think. Most recently an Estonian defence firm, Milrem, launched the world’s first modular unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) doubling as a tank-destroyer. The modular, multi-purposed vehicle intends to provide support for dismounted troops in the shape of a transport platform, remote weapon station, IED detection and a UAV carrier among others.
The race to build the perfect military vehicle is an ongoing slog-fest and defence contractors around the globe have their hands full. More specifically, tank designers and anti-tank weapon designers are constantly pushing the envelope for better technology.
