GNOM Ukrainian 4x4 Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV)

The GNOM Ukrainian 4x4 Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) can conduct covert surveillance using a circular survey camera on a telescopic mast. The communication system and energy reserve enable reconnaissance and surveillance up to 5 km away. Developed by the Ukrainian company Temerland, a specialist in unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), the GNOME had already undergone testing in September 2024. Recently, it was tested by the 65th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in an infantry support configuration. On this occasion, GNOME was equipped with two RPG-7 rocket launchers, armed with 40 mm OG-7V high-explosive fragmentation warheads, and a 7.62 mm PKM machine gun. According to its developers, the drone is a multifunctional platform that can be used not only to support the infantry but also to lay mines and conduct remote mine clearance. It can carry 2 TM-62 mines and one MON-90 mine. The first, an anti-personnel mine, weighs 12.1 kg, while the second, an anti-tank mine (depending on the variant), can weigh up to 10 kg. The GNOME weighs 88 kg and can reach a maximum speed of 5.5 km/h. The payload is 40 kg, with a control range of up to 2,000 m. According to Temerland engineers, the drone would be able to operate even in environments saturated by electronic warfare systems.
