- Solution of the propulsion system of the unmanned vehicle elaborated and built in the Laboratory of Internal Combustion Engines Military University of Technology is shown in the paper. Unmanned vehicles are about to play key role in modern warfare. There are many types of unmanned vehicles. Those which can operate in urban areas, especially inside buildings are considered as a most useful for modern army. Most unmanned vehicles are battery operated, causing low range or low speed of the vehicle. Internal combustion engines are not proper for operation inside buildings, due to exhaust gases produced by engine. Connecting two types of propulsion system, defect of range in battery and gases in combustion engines are eliminated, because we can program vehicle to not turning on engine inside buildings. Using a module for those types of vehicles, we can design entire gamut of unmanned and even manned vehicles, decreasing design costs and repair time due to parts repeatability. Using a prepared propulsion module, design engineer can freely determine length, width and wheel track of designed vehicle. Designed modules enable vehicle fast return to combat ability, due to parts repeatability. One module, used as a host, can reconstruct damage vehicle. There is possibility of using different engines, enlarging list of available modules. Economic factor has also big meaning, due to parts repeatability.
