Ukraine's ROBONEERS Integrates Sablya MK-19 Remote Weapon Station onto Volya-E Unmanned Ground Vehicle
Ukrainian defense technology company ROBONEERS has successfully integrated its Sablya MK-19 remote weapon station (RWS) onto the Volya-E unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). The combat module supports MK-19 or AGL-53 40mm automatic grenade launchers with an effective range of 2 km, and is operated via digital communications channels including Starlink Mini. Originally a logistics and casualty evacuation platform, the Volya-E has now been expanded into a fire-support capable multi-role unmanned system.
Highlights
- ROBONEERS has integrated the Sablya MK-19 remote weapon station onto the Volya-E UGV, adding direct fire support capability to the platform.
- The Sablya MK-19 module supports MK-19 or AGL-53 40mm automatic grenade launchers with a maximum effective range of 2 kilometers.
- The system is operated via digital communications channels, including Starlink Mini satellite connectivity, reducing crew exposure on the battlefield.
- The Volya-E was originally a logistics and CASEVAC vehicle; weapon integration transforms it into a multi-role unmanned combat and support system.
- The module is compatible with Ukrainian-made thermal imaging systems and can be fitted to multiple UGV platforms, demonstrating broad interoperability.
Ukraine's ROBONEERS Integrates Sablya MK-19 Remote Weapon Station onto Volya-E UGV
Ukrainian defense technology company ROBONEERS has announced the successful integration of its in-house developed Sablya MK-19 remote weapon station (RWS) onto the Volya-E unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), significantly expanding the platform's combat capabilities.
Sablya MK-19 Combat Module Specifications
The Sablya MK-19 combat module can be equipped with either the MK-19 or AGL-53 40mm automatic grenade launcher, with an effective engagement range of up to 2 kilometers. Weapon control is conducted through digital communications channels, allowing operators to engage targets from a safe standoff position and substantially reducing personnel exposure on the battlefield.
According to ROBONEERS, the module is compatible with domestically produced Ukrainian thermal imaging systems and can be integrated with multiple unmanned ground platforms via digital data links — including the Starlink Mini satellite communications system — demonstrating a high degree of interoperability and operational flexibility.
A New Role for the Volya-E Platform
The Volya-E UGV was originally designed as a logistics resupply and casualty evacuation (CASEVAC) vehicle, with its primary missions focused on delivering supplies to front-line positions and evacuating wounded soldiers from the battlefield.
With the integration of the Sablya MK-19 combat module, the Volya-E now gains an additional fire support capability, transforming it into a multi-role unmanned system capable of both logistical and direct combat missions.
This development reflects a broader trend in unmanned ground systems, with developers actively converting logistics-oriented UGVs into platforms capable of direct combat engagement — responding to the urgent demand for unmanned and remote warfare solutions on the modern battlefield.
