For the first time at Eurosatory, Arquus reveals its robotic platform that support fighters: the DRAILER.
Aware of the advantages that new technologies bring to the battlefield and supporting this dynamic, Arquus has decided to combine its expertise in mobility and robotics to create a multifunctional platform, the DRAILER.

 

A teleoperated vehicle, the DRAILER is a 4x4 platform that can be deployed for infantry support missions, as well as various specialized missions such as engineering, electronic warfare, counter-drone operations, and very short-range ground-to-air missions.
Equipped with a hybrid electric/diesel propulsion system ensuring silent movement, the DRAILER is a high-tech robot with autonomy suited to operational theaters.

A versatile, towable platform, it is a valuable companion in the field! It can adapt to numerous payloads while maintaining crossing capabilities that meet high-intensity expectations.

The new Arquus innovation will be showcased at Eurosatory, revealing its features:
- 4x4 robot with all-wheel drive and steering, offering mobility and agility!
- Equipped with independent suspensions, the DRAILER can tackle slopes of up to 60% and side slopes of 30%, providing exceptional mobility on all types of terrain.
- Versatile platform, towable up to 90 km/h, and teleoperable up to 40 km/h. It is an operational asset in high-intensity theaters.
- With its 14kWh battery and Diesel generator, it can operate continuously for 200 km at 20 km/h or 24 hours on standby.
- Flatbed format 2450x1600 modular, capable of transporting heavy equipment with a payload of 700 kg.
- BLOS teleoperation up to 2 km.
- At Eurosatory, the DRAILER will be displayed in its infantry support version with a teleoperated HORNET 12.7 mm turret.
