NewsSeptember 12, 2019
LONDON. Milrem Robotics, European manufacturer of unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) and developer of robotic warfare solutions, introduced the fifth generation THeMIS UGV at Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) 2019 in London designed to assist warfighters and enhance combat effectiveness.
The fifth generation THeMIS incorporates all the knowledge gained during tests held in the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, and deployment in Mali in the French lead Operation Barkhane. The fifth generation THeMIS follows NATO STANAG standards in the vehicle’s architecture, safety, air transportability, power offload, and other aspects.
The THeMIS is a multipurpose tracked vehicle that can be equipped with other warfighting technology such as weapon systems, tethered drones, and IED detection devices. Milrem Robotics is also working on enhancing the vehicle with autonomous functions including point-to-point navigation, obstacle detection, and avoidance.
The first fifth generation THeMIS vehicles have already been delivered to the Netherlands and Norway as logistic platforms intended to carry gear and supplies with an option to be integrated with additional warfighting equipment.
