Grepit develops remote-controlled vehicles for the Swedish Defense Material Administration (FMV)
Grepit, a leader in technology development, was commissioned by the Vidsel Test Range (VTR)—a test site under the Swedish Defense Materiel Administration (FMV)—to enhance a key component of their moving ground targets used during weapons testing. The result was that the entire component was optimized, and the manufacturing process was made more efficient.
The Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) is a remotely operated driverless vehicle designed to simulate dynamic ground targets during military exercises and weapons tests. Operated through a specialized control box, the UGV can be safely maneuverer from a distance, ensuring precision and safety in test environments.
Grepit's contribution
As the control box is part of a larger operational system, FMV's wish was to streamline the manufacturing process. With the help of Grepit, the control system has been optimized and packaged, which has resulted in improvements both on the inside and outside to facilitate the manufacturing and usage of the box.
David Eriksson, Electrical Engineer at Grepit, highlighted the improvements:
- By moving all parts to an in-house manufactured embedded system, we simplify manufacturing and make it possible to easily modify the control box.
Hanna Kristensson, Manager at Grepit West, is also pleased with the result:
- We have delivered what was requested and more. We are happy about this collaboration and that we get the opportunity to be a key player in technical solutions. I look forward to future collaborations with FMV where we can continue to be a supplier of high-quality, technical products.
