NewsMarch 30, 2020
UNITED KINGDOM. Milrem Robotics will deliver two unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) to the Defense Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) of the United Kingdom.
DSTL, whose purpose is to maximize the impact of science and technology for the defense and security of the U.K., is procuring the unmanned vehicles to explore the capabilities and limitations of these autonomous systems in areas such as mobility, vulnerabilities, and safety.
Milrem Robotics supplies the vehicles to DSTL in partnership with QinetiQ who will integrate autonomous functions to the vehicles and arrange transfer to the end user.
In cooperation with QinetiQ, Milrem Robotics is participating in two of the U.K.’s large-scale robotic programs – Joint Tactical Autonomous Resupply and Replenishment and Robotic Platoon Vehicle, both worth over $61.9 million (£50 million) per program.
Milrem Robotics THeMIS unmanned vehicles have already been sold in the Netherlands, Norway, Germany, Indonesia, the U.K., and the United States.
