Chassis
When developing the chassis for Berserk, Belarusian designers decided on the tracked one. The reason is that the complex must be stable while firing, because the GShG-7.62 machine guns have a strong recoil. The chassis design was adopted in a ratio of 1:3 (height to width). This option, together with a low center of gravity, provided maximum stability when firing. In addition, the complex uses two separate drivetrains, each driving one track that allows the Combat robot to turn in place, like the tankArmament
mini, left, 200px Berserker rotary combat platform is equipped with two four-barrel aircraft machine guns Glagolev-Shipunov-Gryazev GShG-7.62. The weapon was developed by JSC “KBP named after Academician A.Shipunov” and has a high rate of fire - up to 6000 rounds per minute. The effective range is about 600 meters, and the maximum range is up to 1000 meters. Berserk’s machine guns are able to provide a rate of fire from 400 to 6000 rounds per minute due to the electric barrels rotation system, which has replaced the gas rotation system. The weapon uses 7.62×54R round.Control
In order to implement the concept of weapon informatization, where each unit of equipment or fighter is an information node in an automated control system, the combat robot is integrated into automated control system "Alliance". For example, if you installed an intelligent sight on a weapon or put a cardiometer and vital signs system on a soldier, then you got another source of information. As a result, the commander not only sees the situation on the battlefield in real time, but also knows about the condition of a particular fighter. Berserk is flexibly integrated into already existing environment. All its elements are based on communication, transmission of telemetry and other data. The combat robot has a jam-proof radio transmitter, both for telemetry signals and for transmitting a high-definition video signal. The radius of stable control of Berserk is about 2 kilometers in the city, and more than 5 kilometers in the open area. If necessary, the combat control radius can be significantly increased by using a retransmitter mounted onGuidance system
Berserk has a two-channel optical-electronic station with a wide and narrow field of view "Chizh» developed by the Belarusian specialists. The target search is provided by the video and thermal imaging channels with a wide field of view, and the narrow field of view channel provides lock-on and tracking of the detected target. The detection range of a helicopter-type target is about 10 km, and a small-size UAV of rotary- or fixed-wing type is up to 2 km.Tests
Live firing tests and the robotic complex chassis trials were conducted in October-December 2018 at two Belarusian military training grounds near Borisov and Domanovo. The robotic complex had to detect, identify and destroy a small-size UAV. In addition, Berserk was also tested as a fire-support mean for Special Forces. In 2018, Berserk was demonstrated to the President of the Republic of BelarusReferences
