Ukrainian company Temerland has reported it has developed a ground-based robotic system called “Hnom-ND” — a wheeled-tracked carrier for FPV drones. Its main task is to deliver drones to launch points and launch them directly from the platform, minimizing personnel risk.
The company develops both fully robotic drone systems and converts existing vehicles into such platforms.
Currently, FPVs can operate for up to 45 minutes, but this system extends drone operational time to strike enemy targets.
Multi-role technological “stacking dolls” for the frontline
This technological “stacking dolls” can covertly deliver strike assets deep into enemy positions, fundamentally changing frontline combat tactics. It enables setting up ambushes at unexpected locations and hitting targets far behind enemy lines.
Developers explain that remote drone launch and control are conducted via radio or optical communication channels. The ground drone features a wheeled-tracked chassis, providing excellent off-road performance.
This compact robotic platform can traverse fields, forested areas, and ruins while remaining largely undetectable to the enemy. Operators control the drones directly via an FPV remote control.
Tactics of unexpected ambushes and deep strikes
The ground robot can launch a kamikaze drone at artillery crews, command posts, ammo depots, or lightly armored vehicles hiding in the rear.
The robot can remain in standby mode without revealing its presence. When an enemy column enters the strike zone, the operator activates the system and launches the FPV drone for a sudden attack.
The introduction of complex robotic systems like Hnom-ND marks another step toward the war of the future, where automated platforms carry out the most dangerous tasks.
For Russian occupiers, this means that even relatively deep rear areas are no longer safe. Every bush or ruin could hide a launch point for a Ukrainian drone ready to strike at the most unexpected moment.
