Miloš (Serbian: Милош), also called Little Miloš (Serbian: Мали Милош|Mali Miloš), is an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) developed by the Military Technical Institute, following the development of unmanned ground vehicle Milica in 2009. UGV Miloš is in serial production and first customer are Serbian Armed Forces.

Overview

During 2009 Military Technical Institute presented its first battle UGV, Milica.[2] Continuous development lead to a new UGV, named Miloš. Miloš has improved autonomy and a smaller remote control station which can be carried and operated by a single soldier. The UGV can fit in to a small trailer and can be carried by smaller 4x4 military vehicles or in numbers on larger vehicles to the deployment zone. For surveillance and detection it uses a thermal camera, a day and night camera, and a laser ranger. It has one or two weapons attached on its turret. Maximum total weight is around 700 kg or 300 kg of cargo. Two day/night cameras are installed on the front and back for driving. It can recognize a friendly soldier using charge a coupled device at a range of up to a 1000 meters, and has a thermal camera that enables recognition at up to 450 meters. Included as part of equipment is laser rangefinder with a range of up to 2000 meters.[3]

It was presented to the public at the 2017 Partner military fair in Belgrade.
