The Ertunga is a multi-role UGV that offers superior mobility features, with an electric drive system, enabling both autonomous and remote control capabilities. It is equipped for reconnaissance, surveillance, and protection missions, even in challenging conditions. The UGV can be controlled remotely via a vehicle control console and also has autonomous features, allowing it to move over environmental obstacles without human intervention. Additionally, it can autonomously patrol borders along defined routes, leveraging autonomous sensors and an integrated GNSS system for tasks like sensor fusion, passable area detection, dynamic path planning, and day/night autonomous operation.

The Tunga, another multi-role UGV using a hybrid drive system, offers capabilities for combat, navigation, surveillance, search-and-rescue, and logistics missions. The UGV shares similar features with the Ertunga, providing both autonomous and remote control capabilities. Its autonomy features enable it to navigate challenging terrains independently and conduct border patrols along predefined routes. It also relies on autonomous sensors and an integrated GNSS system for sensor fusion, passable area detection, dynamic path planning, day/night autonomous operation, and maintaining autonomous mobility during communication loss.
