Called ADDER, the 3-foot tall mini tank has a heavy machine gun that can accurately hit targets 1.1 miles away, and can change its shape depending on the mission requirements.
This unmanned vehicle was conceived by Milrem, a defense and security provider based in Estonia, who says ADDER will soon work alongside soldiers in the field. Milrem first unveiled the tiny beast in February, but has since completed the first live fire tests that brings it one step closer to the battlefield,according to New Atlas.
The flexibility and versatility of the system not only increases efficiency, it also significantly reduces the life cycle costs of these complex unmanned systems with simplified maintenance and spare supplies, the firm says.
ADDER, which is 8 feet long, is strong enough to carry from 1,653 to 2,205 pounds and hits speeds between 15 and 21.7 miles per hour.
In addition to being a machine gun on tracks, the vehicle can be used for a wide variety of applications, including remote reconnaissance platform, C-IED (Counter Improvised Explosive Device) platform, medevac vehicle and supply delivery device
The top of the tank is fitted with a turret that rotatesa full 360 degrees in just seconds and its CIS 50MG machine gun snags targets up to 1.1 miles away – it is designed to be outfitted with smaller and larger caliber weapons as well.
