Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) presents SAHAR - an autonomous robotic
route clearance system. SAHAR is a joint development of IAI, QinetiQ North
America and Watairpoll. A model of the system was presented at the Association
for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International ( AUVSI) exhibition this week
in Orlando, Florida. |

SAHAR
is a fully autonomous robotic system designed for the efficient performance
of combat engineering missions. The system handles the process of route
clearance including functions such as environmental terrain mapping, surveillance,
removal of road blocks and disposal of IEDs. The system is designed to
handle a variety of tasks, missions and threats autonomously.
Combat engineering missions
include route clearance, landmines and explosive device (ED) neutralization
in diverse operational arenas. These missions are currently executed
using manned and remote-controlled mechanical engineering equipment.
The challenges of dealing with these missions using existing methods
include: The system's execution is based on pre-defined path plans. Its major features include a remotely-controlled platform, smart terrain awareness sensors, and an autonomous maneuvering and manipulator module. IAI has considerable expertise
in unmanned ground vehicles with experience of over 10 years. IAI's
unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) specialize in executing various missions
such as: |
