Developed to meet diverse logistical needs, the FOXTAC is particularly suited for evacuating injured soldiers in conflict zones. This robotic vehicle represents a significant advancement, offering a secure alternative to traditional methods that are often risky.

The FOXTAC carrier is distinguished by its almost silent operation and its low height of 40 cm, allowing for discreet evacuation through the typical vegetation cover of Ukrainian battlefields. "This technology will minimize exposure to danger, not only for the wounded but also for the medical personnel accompanying them," explains a ministry spokesperson.

Equipped to carry loads of up to 150 kilograms, the FOXTAC can easily transport a fully outfitted soldier, including his equipment and ammunition, to a safe point. The remote control system enhances its efficiency, allowing operators to correct its trajectory and ensure precise arrival at the destination.

Additionally, the FOXTAC can be equipped with tracking devices that make it easy to locate the platform and cargo in case of loss of contact, thus ensuring the secure recovery of the wounded and vital material.

With the integration of robotic systems such as FOXTAC, the Ukrainian army continues to innovate in how it responds to logistical and medical challenges in the field, underscoring its commitment to using technology to enhance the effectiveness of military operations and save lives.
