As mentioned in the article above, the Wild Goose – Tactical Hauler is an electric-powered robotic system that can accompany an operation team or a combat patrol and can be carried by a soldier. In particular, the Wild Goose may be attached to the back of the kit and dragged by the soldier. It is used for transporting cargo, necessary equipment for the execution of the mission and also for evacuating the wounded. It can be easily folded, while its connection-disconnection mechanism is quite fast and ergonomic, a necessary feature especially in cases of engagement with enemy fire where fast disconnection is required.
Its tires provide transport capabilities in mountainous areas and in areas with large obstacles and rough terrain. In cases where it can be used to evacuate a wounded person, it significantly “reduces” the loss of firepower of the combat team, since in case the wounded person is evacuated with the use of stretcher or otherwise, usually 2 or 4 people are needed which means they are unable to continue firing at the enemy.
So far there are two versions, the 4×4 variant with a load capacity of up to 120 kg and the 2×2 one with a load capacity of up to 60 kg. Its mechanism allows it to operate in temperatures ranging from -25 to 90 degrees Celsius. It can also be connected to a wireless remote control which can be placed in the rifle handguard for ergonomic purposes.
The VIDEO released by the company, which you can see below, depicts Wild Goose operating as part of a team on a mission to evacuate urban areas. The vehicle appears to pass through obstacles such as steps and debris as well as narrow corridors. As mentioned, it can carry ammunition, anti-tank weapons and other equipment required for 6-8 people. The VIDEO also shows how it can be used either towed by a team member or moving ahead of a team with the use of a remote control.
