Hyundai Rotem said in a statement on July 7 that two multi-purpose unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) have been delivered through the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA), a state arms procurement agency controlled by the Defense ministry. With day and night cameras, driving and surveillance images can be checked in real-time through separate monitors from a long distance.

The UGV is equipped with a remote-controlled weapon station, while its back has a loading box capable of carrying more than 200 kg of cargo or transporting a wounded soldier. All six wheels are equipped with an in-wheel motor, allowing each wheel to exert independent driving power.

Hyundai Rotem's UGV is based on the HR-Sherpa, which is 2.4 meters long. It can reach a maximum speed of 30 km/h (18 mph). A water-cooled battery system and an integrated heat management system enable long-distance driving and all-season weather operations.
