Ukraine Develops Armored Evacuation Module for Murakha UGV

Ukrainian company Robotic Complexes is developing a specialized CASEEVAK module for the Murakha unmanned ground vehicle (UGV).

The project is designed to protect wounded military personnel during transport and provide communications and monitoring of their condition, the company told Militarnyi.

Unlike conventional cargo UGVs, the new system features an armored capsule made of 3.5 mm Armox 500T steel with an internal HDPE 1000 lining.

The capsule is equipped with ventilation, heating and lighting systems, as well as a first-aid kit. Side and rear doors allow the wounded to be loaded from any side and provide access to them during evacuation.

A camera with day and night channels and two-way audio communication are installed inside to monitor the occupant’s condition.

The system is controlled through ELRS, LTE, Starlink or fiber-optic communication links. If the capsule is detached from the main platform, it retains two independent communication channels.

The developers are currently working to integrate vital-sign monitoring systems. This will allow medical personnel to receive information about the casualty’s condition while the vehicle is moving.

The platform’s protection is supplemented by passive counter-drone measures, net launchers and electronic warfare systems. An electric powertrain has been installed to reduce the vehicle’s signature.

The platform has two electric motors with a combined torque of 1,600 N·m and a 35 kWh battery pack. Its range is up to 80 km.

Company specialists have already conducted ballistic tests of the armor steel at a distance of 50 meters using various calibers. Development of a slat armor system to protect against FPV drones is also underway.

Militarnyi previously reported that in October 2025, Ukrainian forces began using Murakha-Mini ground drones to support logistics near the front line.

The UGVs help deliver equipment, food and other supplies.
