Overview

The Protector is a multirole wheeled UGV from Ukrainian Armor, unveiled at MSPO 2024, built around a 4,000kg combat weight and STANAG 4569 Level 1 protection. It measures 5.20m long, 1.87m wide and 1.45m high, with 0.235m of ground clearance, a 30-degree gradient capability and 0.5m fording depth. A 190hp diesel engine (76L fuel tank, roughly 12L/100km consumption) gives a top speed of 60km/h, with a minimum manoeuvring speed of 5km/h for precision tasks. Situational awareness is handled by the ICoMWare system for semi-autonomous operation, with a control link reported as greater than 15km and extendable further via a repeater drone. The chassis is designed to accept modular payloads including weapon stations, ATGM launchers, an electronic warfare payload, or a front-end loader for non-combat engineering use.

Full specifications

Performance

Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.

Performance specifications
Max speed Maximum level speed. For aircraft this is at optimal altitude; for ground vehicles, top road speed. Higher means faster response and better kinematic performance.	60 km/h Stronger than 72% of UGVs

Protection

Armor, countermeasures and survivability.

Protection specifications
Armor Armor technology: composite, modular, ERA-fitted, uranium-ceramic. Exact compositions are classified.	STANAG 4569 Level 1

Physical

Dimensions, weight and crew.

Physical specifications
Length Overall length including gun/probe where applicable.	5.2 m
Width Overall width, matters for rail/road transport of vehicles.	1.87 m
Height Overall height. Lower profile is harder to spot and hit for ground vehicles.	1.45 m
Combat weight Fully loaded weight. Lighter eases transport and bridging limits; heavier often means more armor.	4,000 kg
Crew Personnel required to operate. Fewer reduces exposure; autoloaders trade a loader for mechanical complexity.	0

Propulsion

Engine, power and fuel.

Propulsion specifications
Propulsion type Turbofan, turboshaft, diesel, gas turbine, solid-fuel rocket, ramjet…	190hp diesel

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.	Wheeled
Autonomy level How much the platform does without an operator, as the manufacturer describes it. Vendors do not use a common standard, so this is a coarse editorial bucket, not a certified rating.	Semi-autonomous
Control range Maximum published operator-to-vehicle control-link distance, normally line-of-sight radio. Higher keeps the operator further from the threat. This is NOT the vehicle's driving range.	15 km Top 3% of UGVs
