NEXWISE Zhifang W1

BESCHREIBUNG

The Zhifang W1 is the small, wheel-legged member of Nexwise's net-capture line — 20 kg against the X1's 72, with wheels at the end of articulated legs instead of feet. That architecture is the point: Nexwise argues the wheel-leg structure runs more stably and crosses obstacles better than either pure wheels or pure legs, while keeping the machine light enough to deploy quickly. It carries the same electromagnetic net launcher as its larger sibling, and the net specification is identical — ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, 5 to 10 metre effective capture range, a 2.4 by 2.4 metre deployed net with 150 mm mesh, over 500 shots of launcher life and at least 50 per charge — so the capability is unchanged even though the platform is a third of the weight. What it trades away is endurance and hardening: IP54 rather than IP67, more than two hours and five kilometres rather than three and ten, 2.5 m/s rather than 4, a 35-degree climb rather than 45, and a narrower -20 to 45 degree working range. Control is deliberately plural — voice, remote handset or back-office platform — and Nexwise positions it for patrolling alongside security staff as much as for working alone.
