Israeli Elbit Systems showcased At the UMEX 2024 exhibition held in Abu Dhabi, a week ago, the Rook Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV), Developed in partnership with the Israeli company Roboteam.
Armyrecognition.com website tells that the Rook UGV was introduced to the public in November 2021. It is part of the Legion-X family of UGVs and leverages the operational experience gained from Roboteam's Probot UGV, which is currently employed by several military forces.
The Rook UGV is a robotic unmanned ground vehicle designed with an open architecture, facilitating easy integration of different payloads and ensuring compatibility. One of its notable features is its integration with the Legion-X system, enabling it to operate autonomously or as part of a coordinated swarm of multiple unmanned vehicles. The Rook offers dual operational modes, allowing for teleoperation or fully autonomous and beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) operations.
Its large loading platform can accommodate payloads of up to 1,200 kg, ranging from equipment and sensors to weapon stations and other essential components. Consequently, the Rook UGV finds applications in various domains, encompassing medical evacuation (MEDEVAC), last-mile logistics, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), and deploying remote weapon stations and loitering munitions. It is well-suited for various combat missions, including urban warfare, battalion maneuvers, and border protection.
Its hybrid operation system, which combines internal battery packs and a fuel engine, allows a top speed of 30 km/h, a towing speed of 80 km/h, and the capability to climb vertical grades of up to 60%, with a ground clearance of 24 cm. The UGV can operate continuously for 8 hours, with a hybrid mode available for extended missions and an operational range of 1,000 meters. Additionally, the UGV features visible white LED and IR light for illumination, complemented by a 360° high-resolution real-time day/night video system.
