SkyLab UA founder Yevhen Rvachov discussed how the developers of the Sirko-S1 ground robotic platform used a grant from the Brave1 support cluster to improve one of its components.
According to Rvachov, the uniqueness of SkyLab UA's development lies in the experience the team gained even before the full-scale war began. "All these IT software blocks, hardware blocks, mechanical blocks," Rvachov noted in a video on the Warchangers YouTube channel, produced by the Ministry of Digital Transformation.
The Sirko-S1 is a multifunctional ground robotic complex with the following main functions:
- Reconnaissance and observation
- Casualty evacuation
- Cargo transportation
- Mine clearance/mining
Among the advantages of SkyLab UA's development are a camera on a rotating turret providing a 360° field of view and secure communication on non-standard frequencies.
"We used the Brave1 grant for one of the components of Sirko-S1, the airless wheels. This component is now being integrated, and we are ready for mass production. We used the grant funds to create a mold, and with this mold, we produce the airless wheels," said the founder of SkyLab UA.
Sirko-S1 features:
- Dimensions: 10507731200 mm
- Weight: 80 kg
- Continuous battery operation: 2 hours
- Camera: Night/day
- Maximum speed: 7.4 m/s
- Operating range: 2500 m (up to 5000 m with a repeater)
- Continuous movement duration: 3 hours
- Payload: 200 kg
- Water resistance
