The shape-shifting mini tank with a built in machine gun to hit targets over a mile away that doubles as a troop carrier: Watch the ADDER in action





  • An Estonia-base defense firm has designed a mini tank that's 8ft wide, 3 ft tall and remotely controlled
  • The vehicle is fitted with a CIS 50MG that hits targets up to 1.1 miles away, but soldiers can swap weapons
  • ADDER can carry between 1,653 to 2,205 pounds and hits speeds between 15 and 21.7 miles per hour
  • It can be used as a remote reconnaissance platform, C-IED platform and  medevac vehicle

It could be the smallest, but deadliest new addition to the battlefield in decades.

An Estonian firm has shown off the latest version of its shape shifting tiny remote control tank.

Called ADDER,  the 3-foot tall mini tank has a heavy machine gun that can accurately hit targets 1.1 miles away, and can change its shape depending on the mission requirements.

THeMis ADDER is designed with a Tracked Hybrid Modular Infantry System (THeMIS) that is controlled remotely and in the future, could operate autonomously. This 3-foot tall mini tank is armed with a heavy machine gun that accurately hits targets 1.1 miles away and possess shape shifting capabilities  to carry out complex missions

MEET ADDER

ADDER carries 1,653 to 2,205 pounds and hits speeds between 15 and 21.7 miles per hour.

Its turret rotates a full 360 degrees in seconds and its CIS 50MG machine gun snags targets up to 1.1 miles away.

Soldiers can change between different superstructures on platform and in the middle of the variant -allowing for different missions.

It is remotely controlled, but will soon run autonomously. 

This unmanned vehicle was conceived by Milrem, a defense and security provider based in Estonia, who says ADDER will soon work alongside soldiers in the field. 


'Unmanned systems will play a significant role in the development of military capabilities in future,' said Kuldar Väärsi, CEO of Milrem.

'Within the next 10 years, we will see smart ground systems complimenting the human troops during joint missions.'


Milrem teamed up with Singapore Technologies Kinetics (ST Kinetics) to design this war machine, which is equipped with ST Kinetics' remote weapon station, the RWS ADDER.


'We are excited to be in cooperation with ST Kinetics for THeMIS ADDER, and we're sure that this universal UGV concept will effectively supplement defense capabilities on a battalion level,' Väärsi said.

Milrem first unveiled the tiny beast in February, but has since completed the first live fire tests that brings it one step closer to the battlefield,according to New Atlas.


'The tests were intended to test the stability of our platform and see how the remote weapon station and vehicle communicate and work with each other,' said Väärsi.


 

'To our satisfaction everything worked perfectly, you can see as much from the video.'


Compared to other unmanned vehicles, this modular hybrid gives soldiers the ability to change between different superstructures on platform and in the middle of the variant – depending on the mission.

The flexibility and versatility of the system not only increases efficiency, it also significantly reduces the life cycle costs of these complex unmanned systems with simplified maintenance and spare supplies, the firm says.

ADDER, which is 8 feet long, is strong enough to carry from 1,653 to 2,205 pounds and hits speeds between 15 and 21.7 miles per hour. 


In addition to being a machine gun on tracks, the vehicle can be used for a wide variety of applications, including remote reconnaissance platform, C-IED (Counter Improvised Explosive Device) platform, medevac vehicle and supply delivery device.

The top of the tank is fitted with a turret that can rotate a full 360 degrees in just seconds and its CIS 50MG machine gun can snag targets up to 1.1 miles away – it is designed to be outfitted with smaller and larger caliber weapons as well

'Estonians have proved many times before that we can successfully be on the forefront of innovation and the Milrem unmanned ground vehicle is a great example of that innovation when it comes to new technologies in the military field,' said Lieutenant General Riho Terras, Commander of the Estonian Defence Forces.


'THeMIS ADDER has great potential to put Estonia on the map of countries that provide new technologies and solutions to the modern battlefield,' Terras added.
