Abstract. The article discusses issues related to the development of a robotic complex designed to extinguish fires in conditions of chemical contamination, radiation contamination of the area or massive fragmentation and high-explosive effects. The presented materials are devoted to the disclosure of the idea of building a complex called a multimode heavy-class fire extinguishing robotic complex and its application in conditions of large-scale emergencies with aforesaid hazards. The relevance of the topic is explained by the current existence of the threat of man-made emergencies especially large-scale ones, and the presence of the shortcomings of the existing operational grouping of ground-based robotic fire and rescue equipment.

The primary requirement for a robotic complex is the application complexity of its systems ensuring the coordinated functioning of individual components as elements of a single complex as well as their interaction for achievement of the ultimate goal. A combination of systems should be determined to ensure their rational interaction in various conditions of the situation.

There are presented main types of robotic tools of well-targeted purpose combined in the unified complex, as well as their rational structural arrangement and general quantitative characteristics. Multimode fire extinguishing means that depending on situation a certain order of complex operation must be ensured. The order of complex operation should relate to one of the following mode groups:

1. a) one-time cycle when extinguishing a separately arising fire source using a portable water supply;
2. b) long-term cyclic fire extinguishing with the delivery of water from remote sources by special tankers;
3. c) long-term continuous fire extinguishing with water supply from remote sources using a hose system.

The presented technological features of application of a heavy-class multimode fire extinguishing robotic complex designed for fire extinguishing at hazardous facilities are the basis for the practical development of tactical and technical requirements for this complex.
