Introducing the Tengu-5: A New Firefighting Robot
The Tengu-5 robotic system was unveiled at the SECURITY 2.0 exhibition in Kyiv, designed specifically for firefighting in military and energy facilities. This project was commissioned by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.
The primary function of the robot is to extinguish fires at locations where firefighters cannot safely operate, such as chemical plants, oil wells, and ammunition storage sites.
Equipped with StreamMaster II high-performance monitors, the Tengu-5 allows for remote firefighting capabilities. It can operate up to one kilometer away from rescue personnel by deploying hoses from a fire truck or other water sources.
The company "Tactical Technology" stated that the current prototype uses a Chinese tracked chassis, fitted with their own armored platform that meets STANAG 4569 level one protection standards.
Inside the robot, there are engines, water supply systems, life support devices, and access hatches for equipment maintenance and rescue gear transport.
The robot is also fitted with a camera system featuring 30x optical zoom and thermal imaging capabilities, along with a space for evacuation stretchers on the left side.
The Tengu-5 can reach speeds of up to 10 km/h, powered by a 2.2-liter diesel engine. A winch with a pulling force of 2 tons is installed at the front of the frame.
It is anticipated that Tengu-5 will be deployed near critical energy facilities or at rescue stations in conjunction with other emergency response equipment. A series of tests for the robot are currently being scheduled.
