Patria reaches new milestone in capabilities of heavy unmanned ground vehicles.

The development of Patria's Heavy Unmanned Ground Vehicles has reached a level where the Patria AMV 8x8 vehicle can be operated remotely beyond visual line of sight utilizing 5G and 4G networks. This enables vehicle operation even from longer distances with higher reliability.

The demonstration of remote-controlled Patria AMV 8x8 vehicle under 5G network was made in cooperation with the University of Tampere, and it was part of the RemoteFeel project. RemoteFeel is a research project funded by Business Finland, FIMA ry (Forum for Intelligent Machines) and the research parties. Members of the program were given the opportunity to drive a Patria AMV 8x8 vehicle remotely. The demonstration utilized Patria's Remote Operating Desk (ROD), state-of-the-art user interface containing features, such as augmented reality and haptic feedbacks enabling more authentic remote-driving operations, and the combined stereo camera system developed by the University of Tampere.

Patria has developed its Heavy Unmanned Ground Vehicle system continuously for several years now and is a leading company in the area of unmanned capabilities in its business segment. Patria demonstrated for the first time in public its Unmanned Heavy Ground Vehicle capabilities with two Patria AMV 8x8s at European Land Robots Trial (ELROB) 2018 in Belgium. Patria´s unmanned solution can be integrated into the new Patria AMVXP, Patria 6x6 vehicles and to all already delivered AMV 8x8s without any major changes in the vehicle configuration.
