Type: article
Abstract: Today, unmanned systems have become one of the key weapons in the war against Russia, new and different ways of using these systems are being introduced, and the search for new ways of using them continues. For example, the Armed Forces of Ukraine use walking unmanned ground complexes of the Robot Dog type due to the features of the design, as well as mass, dimensions and cargo capabilities. Complexes of the Robot Dog type are already used for humanitarian missions, for example, they are used for demining territories. They also perform security and surveillance functions, patrolling the territory; study of hard-to-reach places, monitoring and reconnaissance, data collection in dangerous or difficult conditions. Such complexes are used for the transportation of light cargo (medical equipment or necessary resources). The article analyzes modern popular multifunctional biomorphic walking ground platforms - unmanned ground complexes of the Robot Dog type. Their functions and capabilities are considered, and the tasks performed today by walking unmanned ground systems of the Robot Dog type in the armed forces of the leading countries of the world are given. The main tactical and technical characteristics of these samples are provided. The evaluation of the level of technical perfection by the proportional scale and the "rating-weight" scale of the five most common samples of walking unmanned ground complexes of the Robot Dog type was carried out, and the influence of negative indicators of the technical perfection of the sample on its comprehensive evaluation. The rating among the studied samples of the same type of walking unmanned ground complexes of the Robot Dog type was determined.
