Verify<strong>in</strong>g Unmanned Land Vehicle <strong>Vision</strong> System Configuration 337<br />

WMI is technology demonstrator of wheeled eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g mach<strong>in</strong>e developed <strong>in</strong><br />

a purpose of direct <strong>in</strong> convoy eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g support.<br />

The base chassis of WMI is based on 2-axles wheeled drive system, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g<br />

4x4 drive. Chassis is equipped with controlled suspension <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g<br />

opportunity to lock and adjust the height, both shock absorb<strong>in</strong>g axles with calibration<br />

of twist of the mach<strong>in</strong>e (alignment), highly effective brakes at high wheels<br />

with ABS systems, clearance about 350 mm, wheels with s<strong>in</strong>gle terra<strong>in</strong> tyres of<br />

high capacity <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g pressure control system. Vehicle drive is composed of<br />

combustion eng<strong>in</strong>e of power about 250 kW. Maximum velocity of the vehicle is<br />

about 80 km/h.<br />

WMI vehicle weight <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g basic equipment of a loader shall equal about<br />

16,500 kg, vehicle width 2.55-3 m, height up to 2.7 m, length up to about 7.5 m.<br />

WMI has a possibilities to lift up to 5,0 tonnes on front work tool, crab drive<br />

mode and remote control possibilities.<br />

Dur<strong>in</strong>g mach<strong>in</strong>e development, mechanical, electrical designers with OBRUM<br />

research department conducted series of analyses to fulfil vehicle technical and<br />

tactical requirements.<br />

Remote control capabilities, for unmanned mode was achieved by developed <strong>in</strong><br />

OBRUM control system that give us the same steer<strong>in</strong>g capabilities <strong>in</strong>side and<br />

outside of control cab.<br />
