[0058] The aforementioned unmanned platform 1 features a symmetrical design, a low profile, and a compact layout. Because the diameter of the front and rear track wheels 16 is greater than the height of the frame 11, the control compartment 12, the front drive compartment 13, and the rear drive compartment 14, the unmanned platform 1 can travel normally on the tracks regardless of whether it is in contact with the ground from the top or bottom. This avoids the loss of control caused by rollover when the unmanned system is moving in rugged environments. At the same time, it can significantly reduce water resistance when traveling in water and has a certain wave resistance capability.

[0059] The aforementioned unmanned platform 1 can drive the rear track wheel 16 or the rear propeller 18 to rotate through the transmission system of the rear power compartment. That is, one track drive motor 26 can drive the rear track wheel 16 and the rear propeller 18 respectively, thereby reducing the number of drive motors and reducers. This not only reduces the number of parts, but also helps to reduce the weight of the unmanned platform 1.

[0060] Example 2
