The unmanned systems realm is approaching the air defense field. A new unmanned air defense system is under development. The system is intended for precision firing using GShG-7.62 twin machine gun against enemy personnel and low-flying drones, helicopters and aircraft.

Berserk, developed by the Belarus company New Technologies, consists of a self-propelled tracked unmanned combat vehicle and operator AWS enabling remote control and combat operation of the robotized combat vehicle via wireless communication link at the distance of up to 5000 m in case of direct visibility up to 2000 m in an urban area.

Equipped with a modern optical-electronic system and elements of artificial intelligence, it is able to independently capture targets at ranges of up to 10 km and identify them by type, according to defence-blog.com.

The system’s high maneuverability and cross country ability makes it a good solution for automatic guarding of any sector or object by means of surveillance or patrol.
