Overview

RoBattle (ELA-6681) is IAI's diesel-powered 6x6 articulated unmanned ground combat vehicle, in IAI's catalogue since 2016 with no publicly reported fielding to date. Gross vehicle weight including payload runs to about 7,000 kg, with a 3,000 kg cargo payload capacity, and the chassis can optionally be fitted with tracks in place of wheels for softer terrain. IAI markets it as a modular robotic kit rather than a fixed configuration: customers can fit manipulator arms, ISR sensors, radars and remotely controlled weapons, but IAI does not publicly name a specific weapon station as standard. IAI's current product materials publish no dimensional, speed, range or control-range figures for RoBattle, so this record is intentionally spec-thin rather than filled with estimates. Note also that RoBattle is an IAI product, not Elbit Systems, a mix-up that appears occasionally in secondary reporting.

Full specifications

Physical

Dimensions, weight and crew.

Physical specifications
Combat weight

Fully loaded weight. Lighter eases transport and bridging limits; heavier often means more armor.

7,000 kg
Crew

Personnel required to operate. Fewer reduces exposure; autoloaders trade a loader for mechanical complexity.

0
Cargo payload

Maximum cargo the transport can carry. Higher means more lift per sortie. On an unmanned ground vehicle, this is the maximum mission payload the platform carries, including a weapon station.

3,000 kg
Stronger than 76% of UGVs

Autonomy & control

How the platform moves, how much it does without an operator, and how far the control link reaches.

Autonomy & control specifications
Locomotion

How the platform moves: tracked, wheeled or legged. Tracks suit soft ground and heavy payloads, wheels favor road speed and range, legs handle stairs and rubble. Not a ranking, a trade-off.
