The paper presents the issues of estimating skid steering resistance for multi-axle wheeled platforms. Due to the lack of appropriate calculation models in the available literature, methods for modifying relationships used for tracked vehicles have been proposed. A specific calculation example is also presented to show the differences resulting from individual approaches to this issue.The threats encountered by soldiers during peacekeeping and stabilization missions mean that great emphasis is currently being placed on the robotization of the battlefield. In all highly developed armies, including the Polish one, work is underway to develop multi-task unmanned platforms. Due to the terrain conditions in which they must be able to move, special emphasis is placed on their off-road capability. Important parameters here are: maximum driving speed, the value of unit pressure of the running gear on the ground, and maneuverability. (…)
