A unique, multipurpose UGV (unmanned ground vehicle) will be the first 
vehicle of its kind to use ultracapacitor technology. The high power 
cells from record-breaking manufacturer Skeleton Technologies will be 
used to deliver greatly increased energy efficiency and product 
reliability. The hybrid UGV has been developed by Estonian defence 
solutions provider Milrem, a company specialising in military 
engineering, repair and maintenance.<br />
<br />
Unlike existing UGVs it provides a universal platform for any 
application from communication relay to medevac, lifting platform to 
fire-fighting. This plug-and-play capability is made possible by housing
 all equipment inside the vehicle’s tracks. The multipurpose UGV can be 
used for a wide range of defence requirements including reconnaissance 
and observer missions, targeting weapon systems and providing support 
solutions such as medical supplies. The universal platform allows 
operators to optimise their vehicle fleet and reduce life cycle 
management costs with simplified maintenance and spare supplies. With 
energy consumption becoming an increasing concern in the defence sector,
 the Milrem UGV was designed to be as efficient as possible. A highly 
sophisticated control unit regulates energy flow between the diesel 
generator, electric motors and Skeleton Technologies’ ultracapacitors.<br />
<br />
 This system reduces overall energy consumption by 25–40%. The 
ultracapacitors also ensure reliability by starting the vehicle in cold 
conditions or after prolonged periods in storage. Kuldar Väärsi, 
Chairman of the Board at Milrem, explains why they chose to work with 
Skeleton Technologies: “Firstly we chose these ultracapacitors for their
 performance; we knew they would deliver the efficiency and reliability 
we required. But we also liked the company’s approach to working 
alongside their customers to develop new products and new ideas.” 
Ultracapacitors are a highly efficient form of energy storage that are 
able to provide very high currents of power. Skeleton Technologies’ 
cells can also charge and discharge millions of times, offering 
lifetimes up to 500 times longer than batteries. Crucially for 
applications in colder climates, the technology can operate in 
temperatures as low as -65 °C.<br />
<br />
“We are proud to have worked with Milrem for our first deployment in the
 defence sector,” explains Skeleton Technologies Chief Executive 
Officer, Taavi Madiberk. “From powering space shuttles with the European
 Space Agency to ensuring cold weather start in trucks, the range of 
applications for our high-power technology is increasing all the time.” 
The first prototype of the Milrem multipurpose UGV will be unveiled in 
London at Europe’s leading defence and security event, DSEI 2015 which 
runs from 15 to 18 September. Milrem can be found at stand N3-362.
