The list of possible tasks includes:
- Cargo transportation - up to 200 kg of cargo at a distance of 2.5 km, which makes it convenient for delivering ammunition, provisions and medicines to the front line.
- Evacuation of wounded from the battlefield.
- Reconnaissance - the robot is equipped with a thermal imager, a laser rangefinder system and a camera that allows it to scout enemy positions.
The platform can be upgraded with modules that are compatible and can be quickly installed. This makes the robot versatile and allows it to be used in various applications. Sirko-S1 is also resistant to extreme operating conditions, has encrypted communication for control and video, as well as electric drive for all four wheels with power regeneration modes.
