Brasa Defence Systems, a defense company from Latvia, has unveiled a new unmanned ground vehicle designed to support battlefield logistics operations.
Named UNHUMAN, the platform was demonstrated during the Griffin Tech Days 2026 exercises, conducted by Finland’s special forces in extreme Arctic conditions, with temperatures reaching –27 °C.
The vehicle is designed to transport supplies, equipment, or injured soldiers in hard-to-reach areas. The goal is to reduce soldiers’ exposure to risk by replacing some of the logistics missions carried out directly on the front lines.
The system weighs around 110 kg and can carry up to 200 kg of payload, exceeding its own weight. Powered by a 3.5 kW electric system, the vehicle can operate for up to 10 hours and reach about 13 km/h, a speed sufficient to keep pace with troops moving on foot. The platform can also be equipped with sensors, communication systems, or even a remotely controlled 7.62 mm weapon station.
According to the company, the development of UNHUMAN took more than six years and included extensive testing in various environments, such as forests, sand, and steep terrain. The project was designed for mass production and simplified maintenance, reflecting the growing military demand for robotic vehicles capable of performing logistics tasks and reducing risks for troops in modern conflicts.
