About Multi-Purpose Unmanned Ground Vehicle
Hyundai Rotem’s Multi-Purpose Unmanned Ground Vehicle uses a six-wheel electric chassis for reconnaissance, logistics and battlefield support. Cameras and navigation sensors enable remote driving, autonomous route execution and leader-following behind personnel or vehicles.
The load platform accepts cargo, surveillance equipment and other mission modules. The vehicle was developed from the HR-Sherpa programme and completed military trials before initial supply to the Republic of Korea Army in 2021. Its modular architecture supports field transport, observation and future payload integration.
