Milrem Robotics has successfully completed its involvement in the US Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiment (AEWE).

Milrem, a leading robotics and autonomous systems developer, participated in the event which was conducted in February in Fort Moore, USA, and focussed on experimenting with new technology in realistic operational settings.

In cooperation and partnership with the Dutch Ministry of Defence and at the invitation of the Dutch Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) unit, it allowed Milrem Robotics to present the capabilities of weaponized THeMIS Combat Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV).

Prior to and during the event, Milrem Robotics was actively engaged with the RAS unit to refine operational concepts for deployment within combat formations.

Equipped with Milrem’s Intelligent Functions Kits (MIFIK) the UGVs also successfully partook in autonomous functions experiments on various terrain and environments.

The company has offices in Estonia, Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, and the US. It is known for its THeMIS and Multiscope UGVs, the Type-X Robotic Combat Vehicle and MIFIK.

“AEWE showcased the advanced stage of the THeMIS UGV, highlighting its operational readiness and allowing us to collect crucial user feedback on the system and concepts,” stated Patrick Shepherd, Milrem Robotics’ Chief Sales Officer.

He continued; “Integrated with intelligent functions, third party payloads such as weapon systems, route clearance or casualty evacuation systems, the THeMIS is now operational globally.

“Our ongoing collaboration with our Ukrainian partners involves a dynamic feedback loop. This process not only enhances the system’s performance swiftly but also allows us to implement and test modifications in actual combat scenarios.”
