Developed by the Ukrainian company Temerland, specialised in unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), the GNOME had already undergone testing in September 2024.

Recently, it was tested by the 65th Mechanised Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in an infantry support configuration. On this occasion, GNOME was equipped with two RPG-7 rocket launchers, armed with 40 mm OG-7V high explosive fragmentation warheads, and a 7.62 mm PKM machine gun.

According to its developers, the drone is a multifunctional platform that can be used not only for supporting the infantry, but also for laying mines and remote mine clearance. It can carry 2 TM-62 mines and one MON-90 mine. The first, an anti-personnel mine, weighs 12.1 kg, while the second, an anti-tank mine (depending on the variant), can reach a maximum weight of 10 kg.

The GNOME has a total weight of 88 kg and can reach a maximum speed of 5.5 km/h. The payload is 40 kg, with a control range of up to 2,000 m. According to Temerland engineers, the drone would be able to operate even in environments saturated by electronic warfare systems.
