Hybrid ATV Krampus

24.04.2022

Lithuanian automakers have announced a new all-terrain vehicle (ATV) Krampus Mk1 to perform manned, semi-manned, remotely controlled and autonomous missions on the battlefield.

The hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system in silent mode provides a covert approach to the mission area, where a crew of two can dismount and independently direct the vehicle to forward firing positions.

The Krampus Mk1 is designed for a 500-kilogram payload, which can include remotely controlled anti-tank systems, killer drone launch systems, or anti-aircraft weapons systems. After completing the fire mission, the Krampus ATV must return to pick up its crew and continue the manned mission.

The designers of the Krampus Mk1 ATV also envision the use of vehicles in non-military areas such as border security, law enforcement, environmental control, mining - any scenario where the mission may require autonomous or remotely controlled operations for extended periods of time or operation in hazardous environments. .

Ostara has already reached level 6 of technological readiness for the Krampus ATV project. Last year, the development team completed the field test phase and made the necessary corrections and improvements to the vehicle's systems and subsystems. Earlier this year, technological solutions were introduced that provide remote and autonomous control of the vehicle.

Krampus Mk1 has a built-in diesel generator and a powerful battery that provides a range of 1000 km. In silent mode, when the two electric motors are powered only by the battery, the range of the car can reach 200 km. The company says the Krampus Mk1 ATV demonstrator has already laid the groundwork for the start of the next Krampus Mk2 prototype.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

The formula for a happy family has been discovered 15.09.2016

Researchers at the University of the American State of Oklahoma, as a result of their research, have established the main condition for family well-being. According to experts, the guarantee of family happiness is success at work.

Experiments within the framework of scientific work, in which several hundred married couples took part, revealed a relationship between success at work and the number of problems in family life. So, doing what you love makes a person calmer and more complacent, which directly affects the number of quarrels with loved ones, scientists say.

In addition, parents' career success is a great example for children who look up to adults, according to a report on the results of the study.
